Red-light running in Orlando has gotten so bad, it would probably shock you. The incident that sparked the red-light camera thing a few years ago was the deaths of two very small girls, sisters, in their strollers, right near my house, on Goldenrod Road. Their mother saw the 'WALK' sign come on, and she pushed her two daughters into the intersection. A young lady on her cell phone ran the light and killed the two little girls. That did it. The Sentinel went on a crusade.
Like the Sentinel has said over and over: if you don't like the idea of a fine, don't run red lights.

Research shows the intersections with cameras do not have any appreciable decrease in accidents over time. While there may be an initial decrease, it goes back to zero over time. Bad, bad cities!!

Do you think that would put and end to this craziness. Safety my a$$. The company installs the equipment and maintains it for FREE. All they get in return is a commission on the tickets and Florida's rates are the highest in the nation. If you pay the high fine here of $158, you don't get points on your license. There's a smaller fine for the same infraction, but you get whacked for 3 points...Awe, does anyone see discrimination here. Oddly enough, here the first 2 were set up in primarily "white collar"/upper class corridors..where people can afford the fines????or are these the most dangerous intersections in town????? You know the answer. Color it any way you want. This is strictly a how can we generate more tax revenues project---period, end of sentence. I know there can be quite a legal argument and there have already been many. It just walks and sounds too much like a duck to be anything else. Go Gators! Yeah.I'm really PO'd!
