You don’t change behavior by getting a notice in the mail well after the event. Photo tickets do nothing but extort money for private companies and local government.
Reply ReplyThey don’t take into account circumstances that happen all the time. This is why cops don’t always give you a ticket when they see you do it. I do not believe taking the human element out of law enforcement is effective. I do not believe these cameras should be legal.
Reply ReplyMore Government control. Give us statistics where it saved lives. Charging it's already extremely highly taxed citizens is ridiculous. It issues the owner of the car the citation who may not even be driving. Insurance goes up or is canceled causing low income drivers to drive without insurance.
Reply ReplyAt reed mkt and 3rd its already common to take 3 cycles of light changes to make it through. This will make it so people feel have to go slower contributing to the delay that already exists because of poorly planned infrastructure
Reply ReplyAll it is going to do overall, is produce more revenue and cause insurance rates of individuals to go up. It takes the real time needed judgment out of the equation by an officer. Clearly, infractions happen over small nuances or when in the dilemma zone. Put a big sign up would have the same effect
Reply ReplyRelying on technology to do the job of officers is not efficient reason for 2.3 million dollar project ,especially. When we just put more officers on the ground the last year.What was the need for more officers?.
Reply ReplyBecause it boost the pockets of the city, and takes from the people. It will not reduce car accidents that much, it's only for revenue for the politicians. And it's been proven that they don't work that great. This is just another Ponzi scheme to collect money from the public to line there pockets.

If you don't run reds, you don't have anything to worry about! Worst area I have EVER seen for folks running reds. There isn't even a hint of brake on a yellow, they're going through by gosh!!
ReplyIncreased traffic in Bend has brought more traffic woes. I have personally seen drivers increase speed or run red lights to get through intersections at the last minute. These cameras are needed safety features
