Red-light cameras still a money grab
And so the traffic engineers went forward and reported back to the people who sign their paychecks that the red light cameras are working correctly, and Gov. Chris Christie’s transportation folks gave the green light to continue use of the hanging bandits.
The word from Christie: If you don’t want to get tickets, don’t run red lights. It would be nice if the world were that simple.
Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon, R-Monmouth, wasn’t buying it. He brought in a professional engineer from out of state, one who doesn’t have to depend on the local pols for a job. The engineer, Joe Bahen, and an assistant used laser equipment to check vehicle speeds and video to determine how long the yellow light was yellow. (Ingle, Asbury Park Press)
