Every motorist in Texas is now exempt from photo tickets from speed cameras, red light cameras and toll road enforcement cameras, starting January 1st, 2012.

Texas legislature left a key provision out of the latest version of their Transportation Omnibus Bill that penalizes drivers for not visibly displaying a license plate on their vehicle, reports TheNewspaper.com. [BILL]

Once this bill becomes law, it cannot be changed for two years because Texas Legislature only convenes every other year.

WarOnDriving.com writers, editors and affiliates do not condone dangerous driving or breaking traffic laws, however it is well within your right in the state of Texas to dismount your license plates from the outside of your vehicle and keep it somewhere inside, such as the cargo area.

This of course applies starting in 2012.

Not displaying your plate will ensure that you can’t be tracked and data mined by private corporations, Redflex Traffic Systems of Australia and American Traffic Solutions.

If you fancy your privacy, freedom from surveillance and exemption from proven fraudulent photo enforcement systems, which have been the subject of major class action and RICO lawsuits, 2012 is your chance to take some freedom back.

Go ahead Texas, take off that plate!

Tuesday marked the 18th time that photo enforcement has been rejected by voters. In fact, those nasty cameras have still never survived a public vote.

Going into yesterday’s voting at the polls the numbers were already against camera opponents with early and absentee voting putting them behind by about 800 votes. City councilor Dan Lewis had been the only major outspoken opposition to the program, calling red light cameras “a big scam.”

It was Lewis’s actions alone that put the measure to a vote, but on voting day, a huge push by Campaign For Liberty members certainly made the difference in the results. Live phone calls were made to likely voters reminding them to go out and cast their votes against the red light camera program. 

In the end, the voting day numbers were a landslide for Lewis, camera opponents and Campaign For Liberty.

Unlike most ballot measures involving photo enforcement, not a single signature was collected in Albuquerque. The quick work of Councilor Lewis avoided the inevitable public backlash that follows the deployment of this unconstitutional system.

It’s now up to the rest of city council to honor the will of the voters and dismantle the system and kick Redflex out of Albuquerque for good.
