    I'll donate 75 bucks to the guys trying to keep them gone. I wish someone would start a legal fund.

    I will continue not paying these warnings.
    It's not like I try to run red lights. There is no grey area for these private contractors with Government backing/profiting.

    The company that owns them is behind it, duh.

    Doesn't matter to me, I don't have a front license plate.

    So the city can just pass an ordinance and it's up to us to rally up and educate enough people to vote it down... all within 30 days? What bull crap.

    Complete horse****. Thankfully, the fines have virtually no authority. So just don't pay them.

    I hope some "convenient" vandalism starts occurring. This is a complete mockery of democracy - not that I'm surprised.

    Your vote <<<<<<< $$$

    I believe the judge will get a percentage for each shot.

    A lot of the cameras are set up to take a picture of the rear plates.

    Has there been a lawsuit against the Red Light cameras in Texas? There was one in MN and the cameras were taken down and anyone who got a ticket from them had that violation taken off their records and also part of the settlement money.

    What happens if you don't pay? Does anything happen to you, or does it go on your driving record?
