And you wonder why Houston voted this revenue generating, safety promoted B.S. down.
The attached violation reveals why we citizens fully believe that the sole motivation behind these camera's is money. The violation, approved by the Jersey Village Police Department, reads "Did Unlawfully Operate a Vehicle" and "Failure to Stop at a Red Light." The photo's show that the vehicle made a right hand turn (video not attached show's he even turned on his blinker) and that there isn't another vehicle at the intersection at 1:00AM!!! What "SAFETY" violation occurred? Unless you count perhaps the roach he might have run over.
This is another instance of Big Brother watching you and issuing a "safety" fine when no safety violation occurred. Did he roll through the red light making a right hand turn? Damn straight and I would have too when clearly approaching an intersection at 1:00 in the dead of night and not seeing a sole around because a clear minded individual can clearly see that no danger was being imposed. YET the Jersey Village Police Department and in many cities across Texas feels that while the Police Department is out and about, Big Brother can catch you making safety violations, review the video and actually sign off for this crap!
Now there is a 75.00 fine and you can conveniently pay with your credit card (additional fee charge for convenience). I hereby ask my state representatives to put on the next ballot to vote out these camera's throughout the entire state!
