Baton Rouge's controversial red light camera program faces an uncertain future after the Metro Council failed to renew a contract Wednesday — a decision that could allow drivers to blow through intersections without consequences while officials scramble to fill a void in public safety funding after the current pact expires Dec. 31.

The motion to approve a renegotiated contract with American Traffic Solutions failed on a tie vote; one council member didn't vote and another was absent. City-parish Chief Administrative Officer Darryl Gissel said the proposal will likely return to the council's agenda in January.

these weren't legal tickets though since they're from a third party and not from a cop right? you could just ignore them?

If I photograph my neighbor breaking the law and then make him pay me for the pics isn't that illegal? If so why isn't this contractor breaking the law?

Good.

Tired of getting tickets sent to me with wrong information and attempts to buffalo me into paying for it.

People already blow through intersections with no regard for human life so it changes nothing. No one was paying them anyway.
