Ban the Cams note: The city will be doing the right turn on red scam here:
Quote: City leaders are touting the new red light cameras as a matter of public safety, citing a Kissimmee video survey that showed 70 red light violations in a 12-hour span.
City leaders said the cameras will not only catch red light runners but people who don't stop long enough when making a right turn on red.
Ban the Cams addition note II: Wonder what the Redflex Survey said here????? We know from another vendor ATS, in Mulkiteo, WA that the vast majority of the "violations" were RIGHT TURNS! http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20110807/NEWS01/708079938
Quote: ATS surveyed six Mukilteo intersections for red-light runners on a typical day.
Here's what they found: 16 drivers who blew straight through the light; 13 who turned left after the red and 150 who turned right on a red light at speeds of more than 10 mph.
More than 3,300 possible violations involved what the company called "slow right" turns.

Ban the Cams found it funny that a person that was interviewed would use Haines City, FL as a poster child for RLC "acceptance".
Quote: “Yes we have them in Haines City and they work great and I'm glad they are coming here,” Lorne Greenspan said."
Haines City is the town that got so upset over the Right turn on red RLC ticketing that THEY VOTED OUT THE RLC MAYOR!

Quote:
By a 3-1 vote, Haines City Commissioners on Thursday, April 7 ended the ticketing of motorists caught on camera making illegal right turns on red lights.
“We’re half way there,” Commissioner-Elect Don Mason after the meeting.
Mason, who takes office May 5, defeated incumbent Philip Hinkle winning 70.4 percent of the vote April 5, partly because he campaigned for elimination of the cameras.
