OFF THE WIRE
URGENT ACTION ALERT!
Groups Support Bills To Repeal Red Light Camera Law
The Florida Civil Rights Association, the National
Motorists Association, the Libertarian Party of
Florida, Campaign for Liberty, banthecams.org
and other groups are advocating legislation
(HB4087/SB672) to stop the use red light
cameras. Many studies show how unsafe
intersections become after installation of red light
cameras, with a dramatic increase in the number
of crashes and serious injury. These studies also
show cities have been found guilty of shortening
the yellow light to increase violations in order to
generate revenue. Outside the safety issues
raised by installation of these cameras is the
constitutionality of the systems. Our Constitution
says citizens have a right to face their accuser, yet
their accuser in this case is a machine. In 2010, a
Circuit Court judge in Miami-Dade and Orange
County ruled red light cameras were illegal.
HB4087 sponsored by Representative Richard
Corcoran is waiting in the House Economic Affairs
Committee to be placed the agenda to be heard.
SB672 sponsored by Senator Renee Garcia is
waiting in the Transportation Committee to be
placed on the agenda to be heard.
