Pair of Red Light Camera Protest This Weekend

Parking Ticket Geek has tipped us off to a pair of protests happening this weekend in regards to the ongoing battle over red light cameras. The first happens in Roscoe Village tomorrow from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the intersection of Western and Addison. Sayeth the Geek:

At the same time, another protest will be held at Army Trail & Springfield in Bloomingdale, this one aimed at Sen. John Millner (R-Bloomingdale) whose proposed red light camera reform isn't good enough for the anti-camera activists.

Laurence Grayhills, a Jupiter dentist, protests the Juno Beach speed van about a half mile south of where the van sits.

JUNO BEACH — Honks and thumbs-up signs — and a couple of obscene gestures — from passing motorists greeted Laurence Grayhills Friday afternoon as he stood on the side of U.S. 1 waving his handmade sign reading "Speed Trap Ahead."

The town's white speed van, the object of his warning, was parked on the grass a quarter-mile south. Windows open and cameras ready, the van snaps photos of speeding vehicles. Fines of $125 are sent to the vehicle owners.

"This is big government beating up on people when they can least afford it," Grayhills said as he stood on the southbound swale, across from Juno Beach Ocean Park.

The Jupiter resident and dentist hasn't been tagged with a ticket from the white van. What's got him steamed is town officials' contention that the van promotes road safety.

"The van produces revenue. That's all the town wants," he said, waving to a thumbs up from two women driving by.

We MUST keep the momentum going and continuously put this issue in the public's eye!!!

We may see RED, but who really sees the GREEN when it comes to Red Light Cameras?

We're calling for a Nationwide Red Light Camera Protest on March 20 (St. Patrick's Day weekend)!

If you have red light cameras in your city, make signs, gather near a red light camera, and protest! We can supply you with information to hand out to inform drivers of the top 15 reasons why they should be concerned about red light cameras and 5 ways to prevent red light running. Our other suggestion is that you hand out contact information for all your city council representatives, ask driver's to call them, and if you have a bill in your state banning red light cameras, add that information to a flier as well!!

If you decide to hold a protest, give us the location of your protest and we'll add it to the list below. Let's make our voices HEARD all throughout the country that we want to BAN THE CAMS!!!

 — ORLANDO — The Orlando based Florida Civil Rights Association, the National Motorists Association, and Ban The Cams.Org are holding the first ever Statewide Red Light Camera Day of Protest, today at noon in Apopka, Orlando, Palm Coast and Temple Terrace.

The statewide protest is calling on state lawmakers to pass legislation that will outright ban red light camera ticket enforcement in the State of Florida, said J Willie David, III, president of the Florida Civil Rights Association.

Private camera companies and local governments have scammed millions of dollars from motorists using illegal ordinances in the name of public safety is an outrage and a disgrace to justice, David said.

It is time for Florida Legislature to do the right thing by passing legislation that will end red light camera ticket enforcement, and refund millions back to these motorists caught in a scam pushed by our trusted local elected officials, David said.

State Representative Robert Schenck is sponsoring House Bill 1235 and the Republican Majority Whip, State Senator Charlie Dean is sponsoring a companion bill, Senate Bill 2712 that will ban red light camera ticket enforcement by local governments, David said.
