Two months after the City Council thought they voted to add more red-light cameras, Mayor Bill Foster slammed the brakes on the increase.

Foster's announcement came at a council meeting Thursday after a frequent camera critic pointed out possible problems with the timing of yellow lights at intersections with cameras.

Orthodoxy SUCKS.

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

Are you kidding? This crap has been around as long as they have had local cops. I know whole communities that rely on questionable DUI arrests and traffic infractions for their operating budgets. Hell, there were even TV shows based on these legal shakedowns...

They tried that here and thankfully there was a city councilman who had the backbone to fight it. It was brought to a vote and soundly defeated.
