That's why they NEED body cams. So the WHOLE story can be recorded.

10 cops with guns drawn against one man with a machete seems a bit extreme. you cant tell me the were no other options. cops are gun happy in my opinion. we need less lethal ways of handling the public.

I've never seen so many people running red lights as there is is in Redmond and Bend. Enough money could be made to probably run the police or city budget.

Nik Myles

Actually cities lose money with the operation and upkeep of these camera systems. They just installed one in Portland and they said there is no money to be made. The cost of upkeep is higher than the amount of fines that will be paid. It's about safety not money.

If "we the people" establish laws (that includes setting speed limits) than "we the people" should enforce ALL of the laws. Traffic cams are cheap and easy and if you put one every quarter-mile on the Bend Parkway, Bend could earn enough to totally abolish property taxes... ;-)

Jon Krutsch

We could fund a new homeless shelter every week if we put speed cameras on the parkway.

Shannon M Shaw

The red light runners and school zone speeders could make the city alot of money if we had the officers to cover

Sussie Due

We already have them. I watch them all the time on the ODOT website. We need to keep them.

Love the idea! Too many folks running red lights and endangering the lives of others. Plus, a nice boost to the budget!

Can't depend on people acting responsible. Make some money from the violators. Attach their tax returns.

Gabe West

No, Bend will just raise taxes again. People that are on a fixed income are being forced out of Bend because of prices.

GT Thomas

Very invasive and subject to errors.

Lol, they aren't in your bedroom. There is absolutely nothing invasive about it. You just don't want to get caught.

Dieter Heinzer

Error? Many states are successfully using cameras to collect tools for their highways and it's a well-established system. As for "invasive" ... Dude, you're on a PUBLIC road!!!!!!
