Red Light Cameras in California Taking Major Heat

Even after American Traffic Solutions was expelled from the city limits of Los Angeles this summer, red light cameras are still a hot topic of conversation in the Golden State.

SFGate.com, which is the online version of The San Francisco Chronicle, posted an article this week about just how much of a revenue generator dangerous red light cameras are for municipalities in California who still use the system.

Many communities in the state have ditched their camera programs when the alleged safety benefit is never realized, the tickets become impossible to collect on and the public revolts.

TheNewspaper.com is also getting some nice recognition for the wealth of facts and figures available on their site and the alternative perspective from the soundbite info given out by local network news.

InfoWars, which has a higher Alexa rating than MSNBC.com, also covered the topic:

Texas Gaffe Means No License Plate = No Problem

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!
