Red light camera question

Well, you have the right to face your accuser in a court of law. The 6th Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees the accused a right to confront the witnesses against him/her. Unless America has perverted that Constitutional right, then it is still your right. Not a privilege. A right.

Shouldn't matter if it is the police or a 3rd party contractor. Make them appear in court and answer your questions to prove your guilt or innocence to that of which you are accused.

Really? One you're in that turn lane you can't signal and safely move out?

Right, yes, I agree, most people don't remember that nugget from driver's ed. For that law about not changing lanes in an intersection. I presume that solid line defines the beginning and end of the intersection.

So glad my state does not allow red light cameras, or speed enforcement cameras. They passed legislation banning it.

But then, they did just pass legislation for camera enforcment of construction zones only. So who knows what they will do in the future.

I believe if the camera did not capture your face, they have no case either way. One of the reasons they aren't used here.

But if it captures the license plate of the vehicle registered in your name aren’t you liable?

All that camera crap is nothing but a money grab.

Just paid my 32mph in a 25 school zone $65 speed camera ticket today reluctantly yeah one shouldn't speed in a school zone understand that. I have been driving that route often throughout the past years since they have gone up, never got popped before unfortunately I was the only on the road at the time had there been others I probably wouldn't of got one as keeping up with the flow of other vehicles makes it hard for them to pinpoint a particular Vehicle.

Seriously though do we need a 3/4 mile before the school and a 3/4 mile after the school zone. I will now go out of my way to avoid all these traps scattered about town. I wrote on the memo part of the check pot hole donation. To bad they didnt use there scam money to actually fix the portholes. Unfortunately when the fire Department or Police ask for the annual donations instead of handing them a few bucks here or there this year I will tell them to get a hold if the place in Ohio where all the payments go because your payment dont go to the city or state you live in. Scam is what it is.

You should try again to confirm that that tactic works, just so you know how to do it in the future.

It would also likely be illegal in many states. You can’t NOT send a citation and then enforce it surreptitiously at a later date.

I used to be adamantly opposed to red light and speed cameras. But with so many knuckleheads nowadays blowing through lights and signs and just gunning it everywhere they go, I wouldn't be saddened to see a few cameras go up.

Well since here in Oregon we only have to do that every 8 yrs and since I just recently renewed mine that would be 2032

Well most of us will probably be dead and gone by then.
