IF The duration of the Amber lighting has not been altered to allow Redflex to target more drivers, I'll kiss your Cornrear on Jefferson Street. How about you stop labeling every citizen who is targeted and falsely ticketed by Redflex, through the LCG short-adjustment of the caution light timing stay, "TROUBLE DRIVERS ". Who elected you Poster Boy of the Redflex banner ? - chano leal Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:35:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/10296-durel-seeks-redflex-referendum#comment-26484 Oh Jack! You must definetly be on the LCG government hind teat, how about we just insist Redflex lengthen the amber light duration period by two seconds ( Thats 2 Seconds, Jack )and I'll post a hundred to a Meche's Donut, that the Redflex fine monies will decrease greatly, lets stop having our local citizens/taxpayers support some jackleg inbred family member of the local elite with a huge share in the Redflex company, after all the company name of Red"flex should promote flexibility, or is the "Flex part-name to throw off the citizens/taxpayers and to continue financially, benefiting, the In-bred Elite familys. - chano leal Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:20:18 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/10296-durel-seeks-redflex-referendum#comment-26480 it seems possible to me that if the problem drivers at Lafayette intersections are given an extra second on the yellow light interval, they will probably become even bolder when trying to "make it thru" the intersection to beat the red light. might be worth it to try and monitor the results but lets keep the cameras just to make sure it works before we decide for sure. - Jack Cormier Sat, 14 Apr 2012 19:26:03 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/10296-durel-seeks-redflex-referendum#comment-26478 I know the light at Johnston & S. College changes real quick. And the yellow light is very short. What's up with that? - Michael A. Moss Sat, 14 Apr 2012 16:07:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/10296-durel-seeks-redflex-referendum#comment-26477 James Walker is correct. If red light running is a concern, lengthen the yellow light time. Add one second and 90% of straight thru's will disappear. - Roger Jones Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:59:52 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/10296-durel-seeks-redflex-referendum#comment-26476 If the yellow intervals on the lights were made 1.0 seconds longer, it would almost certainly reduce violations by MORE than the ticket cameras. Without improper engineering, red light cameras lose money - often a LOT of money - and are then removed. See the science on our website. James C. Walker, National Motorists Association, www.motorists.org, Ann Arbor, MI - James Walker Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:10:52 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/10296-durel-seeks-redflex-referendum#comment-26473 For what it’s worth, more than 20 referendums in other parts of the country voted them out. Additionally, Houston not only had to dump its revenue-cameras but also was ordered to pay a million dollars to the camera company for violating the contract. Florida and California courts have ruled they’re unconstitutional – CALIFORNIA for heavens sake!! Fifteen states have banned them outright. Local politicians are being ousted and losing elections based on this one issue alone. The outrage is growing against petty politicians who install revenue-cameras to escape the consequences of their fiscal irresponsibility. And it's particularly outrageous when they use their police powers to fleece the people they're supposed to serve. To make matters worse, uses of revenue-cameras are being diversified. Thus far, cities have implemented revenue-cameras to fine drivers for radar detectors, eating, insufficient tire tread, excessive tinting, license tag violations, expired inspection stickers, HOV lane violations, map reading and cell phone usage. One company sells a mobile revenue-camera system that monitors the speed of 32 vehicles simultaneously, across four lanes coming and going. It’s become a very lucrative business and will never end unless we stop it at the ballot box. Educated communities are dumping their fiscally irresponsible bosses and electing responsible officials who will dismantle these intrusive and unconstitutional gadgets. I discovered last year that videos are reviewed only for unpaid or appealed cases. I believe it'll happen here too. It’s damning evidence that city officials who support police-cameras are interested only in the revenue and haven’t the slightest interest in justice or safety. - Gene Ralno Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:21:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/10296-durel-seeks-redflex-referendum#comment-26471 IT is ABSOLUTELY ABOUT THE MONEY! GO PULL THE "VIOLATIONS" of the RLC. You will find most "violations" are: 1. right turn on red 2. split seconds straight thrus that longer ambers solved. 3. stopping on or over the stop line. COME ON I DARE YOU TO GO LOOK! The Vendors KNOW. IN CA Loma Linda stopped getting reports on right turns just before they pulled the plug on redflex. http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/33/3345.asp Quote: "Redflex held the deficit over our heads since the contract stated that they would forgive the deficit only at the end of the term," Mayor Rhodes Rigsby told TheNewspaper. "Redflex apparently stopped separating the statistics for straights, lefts and rights to prevent me from further reporting of their perfidious business model." On another Vendor ATS. Their Survey showed most "violations" were RIGHT TURNS on ONE WA town! http://www.banthecams.org/attachments/1553_ATS Mukilteo survey.pdf Don't buy hook line and sinker the Redflex PR machine (or for that matter their front group. http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/37/3744.asp www.motorists.org www.banthecams.org and camerafraud on Facebook! - Stephen Donaldson Fri, 13 Apr 2012 12:23:19 +0100
