’ “’I can’t make a safe right turn unless I’ve determined there’s no traffic coming,’ Quinn said.” ‘

“CAN’T make a safe turn? The wording implies he’d rather just make the turn, traffic or not. No sympathy for someone with that attitude”

’ “Then there’s the damn trailer truck in front of you...blocking the view of the lights....” ‘

“Obviously you are following too close. Otherwise you’d have time to brake.”

It appears that there are some problems with the enforcement end of the program, but I’ve seen far less red light runners with the cameras. And I appreciate the improvement

So you agree with “guilty until proven innocent” so long as you like the end results?

You have no problem with the police continuously monitoring your activity until they have something to penalize you with? You have no problem with being penalized without due process including a personal summons, eye witness identification of both he crime and the perpetrator, and the right to confront your accuser in court?

Who gets the ticket in Columbus the car or the driver? If it is the driver who identifies the driver? You know the part were someone looks at a face and puts a name to it? It doesn't happen with the system you approve of. A camera cannot put a name to a face so the only way it happens is for the camera victim to identify himself. But I suppose self incrimination is ok too as long as we are safer.

Having been smacked three times by red light runners when I was in the right, darn straight I appreciate a reduction in numbers.

As far as who gets the ticket... Unless you can prove your car was stolen, it IS your car. They usually don’t go out to play alone. If someone else was driving it, you should know who it was. Most people I know don’t just hand their keys to strangers and say “Have fun. Bring my Beemer back home by 10 pm.”
