My Response to Tuton PROPAGANDA PIECE.

As some of you at Ban the Cams know, I routinely post comments on RLC articles EXPOSING the SCAMERA VENDORS LIES!

I tried to leave the post below on the Sun Sentinel site, but they are not allowing comments.

So here is my response to Tuton's plea to keep his RLC income coming in.

Ok Tuton, lets POINT OUT WHAT YOU LEFT OFF.  (After all YOUR INCOME DEPENDS UPON THE RLC SCAM CONTINUING).

1.  Of the 62 deaths related to RLR.  WHAT WERE THE CAUSES???  http://www.banthecams.org/Red-Light-Camera-News/why-the-vast-majority-of-rlv-crashes-will-not-be-prevented-by-rlc.html

Most RLR crashes are plus 5 seconds into red events with causes like DUI, fleeing police, not paying attention, medical mechanical, etc.  THAT IN MANY CASES A RLC WILL NEVER STOP!  In fact witness this video collection of RLR captured by a RLC THAT FAILED TO STOP THE RUNS!  http://www.banthecams.org/Red-Light-Camera-News/videos-that-show-rlc-will-not-work-they-didnt-stop-these-crashes-where-they-were-installed.html

2.  RLC DON'T Stop Dangerous drivers, as this case out of TN proves.  http://www.banthecams.org/Red-Light-Camera-News/rlc-fails-to-prevent-dangerous-driver-from-running-lights.html

3.  Police NEED to PATROL ROADS.  THAT IS SAFETY.  Not outsourcing it to a company that spends most of its time sending bills for petty violations like stopping on the stop line!  http://www.tbd.com/blogs/tbd-on-foot/2011/11/a-driver-refutes-the-automated-justice-of-d-c-s-red-light-cameras-13738.html

4.  IIHS "study" is a JOKE.  Read more here:  http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/33/3392.asp http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/33/3393.asp and http://www.banthecams.org/Studies-Show/red-light-cameras-kill-full-length.html

5.  We have seen some of your "crash" success. 

Here are some more examples of ATS towns:  http://www.banthecams.org/Blogs/six-examples-of-misleading-the-public-qsafetyq-claims-by-towns-who-use-ats.html

What you have here with RLC is a SCAM!

Most of ATS "violations" are TECHNICAL FOULS!  NOT SAFETY ONES!

Go pull their Surveys sometime.  Someone did out of WA state in Redmond.  THE VAST MAJORITY WERE RIGHT TURNS ON REDS!  http://www.banthecams.org/Red-Light-Camera-News/redmond-wa-of-the-9397-qviolationsq-8355-were-right-turns-on-qless-violationsq-accidents-up-by.html

Fight the SCAM!

Ban the CAMS!
