I suggest making the delay between Turning Red and the other direction Turning Green LONGER. That is how to save lives versus a ‘red-light-camera’. 3 fatal car collisions at an intersection increases delay by 100% (or some such). Red Light camera’s seem to me a revenue thing sold to the public by advertising safety. I don’t care if people ‘drift’ through stop signs looking both ways before proceeding. I do care about people not even slowing down. Find a way to fine those folks and I’m OK with automation. Red Light cameras seem to me to be only a revenue thing, not a safety thing.

I suggest following the Republican Party of Texas’ platform and join them and the voters of Texas in calling for an outright ban on the dangerous and unconstitutional cameras. Sitting back and doing nothing doesn’t help us.

They shouldn’t even be allowed to be installed in the first place. Red light cameras are strictly a revenue opportunity, as well as not being legally enforceable due to the fact that they only record the vehicle tag with no way to prove who was actually behind the wheel.

I run a business in Crockett,Texas. I loaned a car to a customer. They went to Lufkin and got a ticket. City of Lufkin informed me that they don’t have to follow state laws set by legislation or even The Construction/ Bill of Rights in this matter. If city’s don’t have to follow state and constructional law then why can they use state legislation to enforce their ordinances. Governor Abbott what can / will you do in this matter?

Red light cameras are ridiculous. Although its comical to watch everyone speed up and slow down quickly to avoid getting ticketed, these cameras should not be installed. Its more unneccesary surveillance by the government. We already have police officers everywhere watching us, I think the red light surveillance is overkill. And people dont need other people watching them 24/7 to operate; we operate just fine without surveillance. I think what the original poster suggested is a fair idea. Please make it easier for us to get these cameras removed.
