KC's first Red Light Camera set to go online 1-22-9

[Bowser]

It will be at 39th and Southwest Trafficway. I dare you to flip off the camera as you go through the intersection.

Honestly, I can't understand why the privacy extremists aren't organizing snipers for these cameras. I'm not sure that would hurt my feelings.

Yowza, I prob pass through that intersection 15 times a week. I am not one to run red lights though...every now and then I will get a little speedy but people that run reds piss me off.

Welcome to 10 years ago in Los Angeles.

As a matter of fact, I may have garnered a ticket tonight.

Gotta pay for that new stadium somehow.

It would not be so bad if they did not **** with the light times.. Just in the northland I know of 6 lights that are not the required time of yellow.. The star said they tested the lights lengths before the cameras and will test then again after the cameras have been going..

I am lucky to count 2 seconds on a couple up here..

Yes, but they are not cameras with the ability to shoot a picture of you that results in a ticket for running a red light.

That is assuming you are a KC citizen.

Awhile back, Car and Driver had an article that said that cities that had put in red light cameras decreased the yellow time to increase tickets. The cameras are only leased and the company that is leasing them requires a certain quota to keep them going. They weren't getting enough tickets with the original yellow time so they kept decreasing that time until the quota was met.

If it is the same situation as here in Columbus, the ticket will be like $95 with the city getting about $20 or so of it. The rest of it goes to the company that put in the the red-light camera and maintains it.

I do seem to remember an episode of Myth Busters that dealt with this subject.

[petegz28]

On Christmans Eve in Phoenix, 2 guys dressed up like Santa Claus and went around covering up the cameras with boxes.

It's always fun to print out a fake license plate number of someone you hate, use it to cover your license and then run a red light at those cameras!
