I’m sure revenue-light cameras are different in Boulder than LA.
Los Angeles, California City Controller Wendy Greuel yesterday issued a scathing 77-page critique of the red light camera program responsible for ticketing 44,542 Angelenos last year. While city officials insisted that ticketing “red light runners” caused a significant reduction in accidents, the numbers show that 67 percent of those tickets were actually mailed to people making right turns on red, not running red lights. The auditor found no credible evidence that safety had improved at the monitored intersections.
Seems like the local paper could investigate how well the Boulder red-light camera’s work or how safe the cross walks are or the cyclists driving on highway 36 at night (in the summer) with no head lights.
I guess we need amateur reporters, those bloggers that Clay Evans despises, to get out and do the real dirty work?
