Did Univeristy student in Columbus RLC "violation" times review video or just used "time into red"????

Recently a report came out of Columbus on RLC.  A Univeristy student used data "provided" by Redflex and the city that "40% of those caught by cameras missed by at least three seconds." http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2012/01/15/red-light-offenses-arent-all-close.html

Quote:  He studied six years of records kept by the Department of Public Safety and Redflex Traffic Systems, the Arizona company that operates Columbus cameras.
“In my opinion, they’re blatantly running a red light,” Brunner said.

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.

Photo Enforcement – the “Safety” SHELL GAME!

Posted by Stephen Donaldson in Untagged

Photo Enforcement – the “Safety” SHELL GAME!

The sales pitch of many scamera vendors and towns is that they want photo enforcement for “safety”. 

They go out and use some terrible accident (or incident) to claim that this is the “reason” they “need” photo enforcement.   The problem with that SALES PITCH is that it is a lie.

School Bus Scameras in CT.

WE all agree you shouldn't pass a stop school bus with kids exiting and entering.  It is illegal and DANGEROUS.

But the problems with the scamera approach is that it degenerates long term into how much money can be made.

Many wrecks will never be stopped by a speed scamera. Look here at horror night in AU.

Many wrecks will never be stopped by a speed scamera.  Look here at horror night in AU.   How many were REALLY CAUSED by "exceeding" a speed limit  (not logged in because it was there but unrelated.  Example, fell asleep and went 5 over and hit a tree). And how many were caused by tired driving, not paying attention, overcorrecting, etc.  A LOT OF THEM!   Speed scameras are the SNAKE OIL of today!

3 killed when driver hits tree (looks like single car) near Jandowae.  (10 in the evening)

1 killed hitting tree at Dalveen.

1 killed Shepherds Flat (before 1 am), no cause mentioned yet.

1 killed when truck driver crossed into opposing lanes at 2 in the morning.  (Tired driving most likely).

1 man killed while LYING in MIDDLE OF ROAD AT NIGHT!

1 killed when Holden Ute (like a El Camino) crossed center line and hit someone head on.  This is stopped by BARRIER WALLS!  (Other article believe he lost control while changing lanes.  http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/man-dies-in-horrific-freeway-smash-20111105-1n0zq.html)

Six Examples of MISLEADING THE PUBLIC: "Safety" claims BY TOWNS who USE ATS!

Six Examples of MISLEADING THE PUBLIC:  "Safety" claims BY TOWNS who USE ATS!


I recently came across a article where the writer received the accident data from three cities that claimed RLC were a "success".  http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/columnists/fl-red-light-cameras-mayocol-b103011-20111029,0,3476542.column  All three towns he quoted were ATS towns:  Pembroke Pines, West Palm Beach, Hallandale Beach.  http://www.banthecams.org/Red-Light-Camera-News/davie-may-cancel-red-light-camera-program.html  (about mid way down the article).

As I typically do, I left post of caution.  (I do a lot of these, I don't hide that I do this unlike former ATS VP Bill KROSKE!  http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20110517/BLOG48/705179793)

You Have Been Warned

Posted by Henry Bentley in Untagged

One of the reason we are against red light camera's is what will and already is happening with camera technology. You can run but you will not hide. Click Here

 
THIS IS HOW THE POLICE CAN NOW IDENTIFY ANYONE USING HIGH DEFINITION ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. DON'T THINK OF HIDING YOURSELF AMONGST THOUSANDS.............YOU CAN BE EASILY DETECTED & IDENTIFIED.

Please note the photographer is using the same technology as Google Earth to track you, be warned it will be most difficult to lose yourself in a crowd.
YOU CAN EASILY BE DETECTED AND IDENTIFIED.

 Don't say you have not been warned.

You can zero in on any one specific single face. The clarity is fantastic.

This is the crowd before a riots in Vancouver .

I received this from my sons father in law who is the captain of the police force in South Western, MS


Put your cursor anywhere in the crowd and double-click a couple of times. To further help with image, use the scroll button in the center of your mouse.

Zero in on any one specific single face. The clarity is unbelievable.

This photo was taken by Port Moody photographer Ronnie Miranda that appeared in the Tri-City News on Friday (24-June).
Quite scary. You can see - perfectly - the faces of nearly every single individual - and there were thousands!

And due to the photographer's name, if you were in the photo, you have been Mirandized!
