No mention in this Channel 13 puff piece about how the city of Houston is conspiring against the citizens of Houston to lose this case (and maintain their red light camera ticket revenue stream).
Meanwhile a guy who recorded a judge during his trial is in jail right now.
They can film us, but we can’t film them.
Just another day in Obamaland. :)
If government entities can't be trusted to honour contracts; won't that weaken contract laws in general? Won't contractors be wary of entering into government contracts — unless they build in some additional premium, for risk of contract violation?
Obviously the city is in cahoots with the judge and the camera company to keep the cameras on, because they have the power to extend the yellow light time to say ten seconds and make an all red overlap of two seconds and virtually end all red light running AND prevent accidents as well. That would screw the camera company without taking the cameras down.
“red light running went up 27 percent”
Well, then, put the yellows back to the length they were before you installed the cameras. Problem solved.
(I don't have a dog in this particular fight but I'm watching with interest since I've been working with a couple of city councilmen to get our revenue cameras removed as well)
Shoot them w/ paintballs.
If that doesn’t work, break out the real guns and have at it!
They can’t arrest everyone. That’s what a mexican once told me.
“Attorney for ATS say the vote was illegal and should never have been on the ballot.”
Some lawyer without a soul can be bought to say anything. A majority of the people voted to do away with the cameras. Either the will of the people shall be respected or the election will be seen as a sham, which does not bode well for the future.
The cameras should never have been put up in the first place.
