Texas strikes again: poised to ban red light cameras

Take that, Kleptocracy known as "Louisiana"
quote:
If Texas cities want to fine drivers into the poor house, they're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way—with actual law enforcement officers. A bill to ban red light cameras has passed the Texas Legislature and is heading to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk. He's expected to sign it.
Red light cameras were allegedly introduced to reduce collisions with an automated system that sent tickets and fines to those who ran through intersections. Or, at least, that's what drivers were told.
The reality is that cities use red light cameras as a source of revenue, not for public safety. In Chicago, Illinois, a former city official was sent to prison for taking bribes from a red light camera company. Chicago raked in hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue from the camera tickets, and at one point these machines appeared to be malfunctioning and sending out hundreds of tickets inappropriately.

We already have them banned in Nebraska. But hey I got a bunch of low IQ bubbas from the deep south telling me how shitty Nebraska is compared to paradise states like Louisiana or Alabama

Maybe Arizona can ban them and force the provider to move.

Damn. Can we outsource our government to Texas?

So how many states have banned them now?
Cue the "do the speed limit" crowd

Still waiting on Cantrell to make good on her campaign promise. This is what happens when you elect a thief.

Didn't Owlvis help draft this legislation?

And many more government laws follow down this rode.

My hunch is most of the tickets are from 3mph rolling right turns.

Steak is another one. Livestock. That guy is just dense don't worry. Omaha is such a nice and fun city, I would never move back to BR but I'd happily move to Omaha.
