Red Light Cameras: Problems and Solutions

Red Light Cameras: Problems and Solutions

Simple problem. Simple solution.

I am not generally a fan of red light cameras. I think it is simply a scam to get more money into the hands of the city; when no apparent harm has been done. Voluntary compliance simply isn’t what it used to be. Anyways, some cameras in TN were mistimed so that tickets were sent out to people who did not, in fact, run red lights. First off, I’d question the sanity of anyone who gets a ticket in the mail and blindly pays it without question - is there any appeals process here or what? 176 people received tickets and paid them without question. Till one person complained. The other 176 were just blindly paying a fine that they did not merit. Ugh.

Seems to be if red light cameras are going to continue, there is a simple solution to the problem, right? If the picture it takes is computerized (and I’m sure it is), then simply have the program that takes the picture query the actual light for it’s status (red/yellow/green) and have that encoded onto the photo itself so there is some sort of reconciliation. Or, better yet, have the camera system not be timed, but rather hooked into the light itself so it turns on when the light is actually red, not when it’s supposed to be red according to some software program.

Seems simple enough.
