RLC Scamera Alert Orange Park, FL  (per-ticket "cost neutral",  FL per tickets are ILLEGAL!)

Location for scam:   U.S. 17 and Kingsley Avenue.

Ban the Cams comment:

No doubt a high traffic corridor for ATS "violations".  Wonder what their survey showed:  right turns for example?

Wonder how many might be stop lines and split seconds.

One added note.  The contract there is "cost" neurtal.  You know the PER TICKET FEE IN DISGUISE!  (Per ticket fees are ILLEGAL in FL, but that hasn't stopped the scamera side from trying to "creatively" evade the PROHIBITION!)

Quote:  Under severe budgetary pressures, local jurisdictions often sign contracts with vendors that were presented with a slick marketing campaign. Such deals often contain extremely unfavorable terms. The public is hurt by per-ticket payment systems -- often disguised with "cost neutral" contract language -- that ensure that the system is designed to maximize revenue, not safety. Such provisions provide a monetary incentive to increase the number of tickets issued. That leads to other provisions prohibiting cities from lengthening yellow light duration to improve safety and requiring right on red ticketing and ticket approval quotas.
