Get a couple, change your driving habit, they do have warning signs. Only on hook for $200-$300. If town is desperate, thet will petition state... But that has to cost them something in admin cost. Run it up... Great game plan Illinois, you wonder why you are going broke and people are leaving... Like drug dealers... Kill their customer, but if people are wise, they'd jack that cost of doing biz up. Again... I see a lot of light cams coming down. Costs have to be more than $100 bucks if you fight a little. OTOH, it's pretty easy to beat the ticket in court, especially if it is an automated camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No Turn on Reds" next to impossible. Well, here in Illinois. All can tix come with still and viewable videos online. They play the video on big screen in court while the long line of people file up to the bench. Cha ching! $100, $100, $100, and 26 more $100s... Usually in the poorest parts of town do our gov't extorters extract their booty from the people. No turn on reds are easy money, can be put up anywhere, even @ turns that may not warrant the extra safety BS (no safety efficacy study done) for having such turning right restriction. The one I beat with dump truck? I was the only white guy in about 150 African Americans lined up outside the door and down the hallway. I made my defense that she made the line before red, cop moonlighting on bench/dais reviewing the ordinance violations dismissed it right away. He was white. No doubt every person in that room thought they were being prosecuted because they were black and I got off hook because I am white. I wonder how many figured out the truth, that they send out these "close calls" to see if people will just pay a C-note without a fight. If it is close, have the cop reviewing send it out! Cha ching... We just made some $$$$. All in the name of "safety" though... And you wonder why people mistrust, that there exists a trust crisis in this country with your gov't law enforcing overloads. Jesus Christ couldn't go to supermarket in town for loaf of bread and not do something wrong to warrant not extracting funds out of his robe. Oh well...
