With cameras watching what goes on, rule breakers will finally get what they deserve. People have to be held responsible for what they do, especially when it has an immense impact on the entire community.

Aggressive driving causes car crashes. Knowing there is a camera will slow most people down at a stoplight.

Photo enforcement is a concrete way to restore lawfullness on the roadways, with numerous cities and programs with data that support the use of such enforcement. While the ACLU still has it backwards on red light cameras, these actually GUARANTEE EQUALITY by only ticketing actual law breakers!

I live off Cooley and am at the intersection of Cooley and 97 often. I have seen so many people run that light. It's a very unsafe intersection and having speeding cameras there would be a wonderful way to curb that behavior.

Alot cheaper then roundabouts

it may, but having "Big Brother" watching all the time in an infringement of our privacy!!!!

No one is watching if you don't break the law, so turn off your iphone and put down your jumbo soy latte.

Brian Klein

This is a huge ploy to over ticket the citizens and will NOT because it didn't change the driving habits but what it did do, it lead to over 100,000 Oregon citizens who had their license suspended because of citation debt. I'm talking to all you who fall in a low income category!

Too much of an intrusion into personal liberty.

Paco Goldblatt

Violating traffic laws is no liberty where I come from .

People are becoming more lawless. Get a ticket, Throw in glove box. Ignore the law again. No real enforcement. Privacy? If you aren't doing anything wrong, why object to cameras anywhere?

Maybe a few, but only for otherwise law-abiding citizens. I suspect most red-light runners don't care and tickets won't stop them from speeding.

Some parents want their children to have phones in case of emergencies such as school shootings.

Phones can cause major distractions if they're not used properly or used in class.

Moberly school district has a no phone policy already and it works well. Kids are learning more and less distraction. If parents need to get ahold of the kids they can call the office instead of the kids trying to have their parents get them out just cause they don't want to be there .

Justin Booya

Too much liberal misinformation in the news on those phones.

Steve Chott

As a retired teacher I had students spending great amounts of energy trying to hide their phone activity. A silent phone in a backpack is fine. If a parent has an emergency where they need to contact the student, they should call the main office.

Sara Williams

Except for an emergency, there is no reason for them to have their phones. I feel they should have have, but need extreme restrictions and consequences for having them out. They'll be fine without games and social media while they work.
