Realistically, the state legislature should act to either kill or clarify this on a statewide basis. I am not sure what Louisiana has on the books for these devices, but it certainly doesn't appear to be nearly as authoritative as it should be if Lafayette is having these sort of questions linger out there.

When Jefferson parish just pulled the plug on the program I figured the whole system was BS.

It's gotten killed every time it's been brought up there. Charlie Buckles, who is an influential LAGOP party apparatchik douchebag, is or was on the Redflex payroll now or at one time and no doubt lobbies or causes to be lobbied the Republicans in the legislature on the issue. The Democrats, well, don't need to say much about them being all in favor of government revenue increases and constitutional indifference.

I think you only really have Lafayette, Baker and NOLA with them, with BR pulling the plug some time ago, so as with most "local bills", the legislators that don't have any skin in the game just vote green, if you know what I mean. Easy lobbying strategy for this one issue. Let more municipalities start doing this and I think the state will step in and kill it.
