What I think is sad is that the people are upset for being punished for breaking the law. Stop breaking traffic laws and the tickets will be gone! It is amazing to me how our society is into doing what I want and does not want to be held accountable for it's actions. The city could easily reduce taxes and at the same time reduce accidents

Take it from an American that lived 6 years in Italy and anything south of Rome is corruptible and the Carabineiri are by no means exempt. Furthermore, they could be better utlized in Afghanistan pulling their fair share as a NATO partner, but then again the Alpina is there and aren't allowed to fight. I bet I could get a good deal on a Barreta SC70...only dropped once and never been fired.

Keith is right. It is only a scam from the manufacturers of the cameras.In Italy the same thing happened and the Carabinieri (the best, uncorruptible police force in Europe)investigated hundreds of these installations and found that the yellow phase had been tampered with in order to create criminals out of perfectly decent drivers. They charghed for fraud the several mayors, town concil, local police chief, camera manufactures and their collective brothers. They ordered the towns to refund the monies paid and to include a letter of apology to the unfortunate motorists. This put paid to this vile practice once and for all. Long live the Carabinieri.

If people want to put an end to this evil plot, stop running red lights. It isn't rocket science.

RANDALL REIHING, YOUR A DAMN IDIOT!

How about the truth. The vendor puts the camera in for free as long as the yellow time is shortened ensuring more "violations"--- profits. What about when the public gets so knowledgeable about the quick yellow- ticket in the mail policy that paranoid drivers slam on the brakes and cause dangerous rear end collisions. Unsuspecting drivers and heavy trucks may not be able to stop in time for these newly artificially dangerous intersections. Camera vendors will not accept towns not tampering with yellow times. They say there are not enough violators to pay!!

Many someones, actually all of us someone's nationwide need to forcefully tell politicians that WE, THE VOTING PUBLIC, ARE NOT THEIR PERSONAL ATM.

So, if enough people running red lights and speeding protest their fines for breaking the law, the law will be rescinded? Even when those laws are in the best interest of public safety? Is that how things work in Heath, Ohio?

I was informed by another person that the cities pay the vendor FIRST, then they receive a portion of the remaining. Seems the red light photo operations are more of a benefit to the vendor than the city. The vendors of the red light photo and speeding photo are really pushing cash strapped municipalities to install these when the vendor is really the winner in the situation.

guess what folks - it's not a 'speed trap' if you're not speeding...pretty simple logic IMO...
