[...] if you are one of those motorists who have received a red-light ticket in the mail the prospect of 40 or more new cameras really isn’t [...]

Unconstitutional !!! The VTL states the obervation must be made by a law enforcement officer. The last time I checked the camera was not sworn in.
Money is their only interest,and not your safety.

Go Judge! Fight tyranny. Our constitution has been turned into nothing but toilet paper by our criminal, corrupt, and illegitimate corporate owned leaders.

Demand the rule of law. Demand to face your accuser!

Why are we paying our money to Lockheed Martin anyway?

I can only hope you were so inclined to interpret laws from a constitutional perspective when you were serving.

So the judge isn’t arguing that his wife wasn’t breaking the law and he wanted his day in court? Seems he got it but it seems strange that a judge is arguing to break a law. These cameras are working hard to change our driving behavior making our streets a safer place for everybody. Even the judge’s family.

An article (“Special License Plates Shield Officials from Traffic Tickets”) said that in California there are nearly a million private vehicles having ‘confidential’ license plate numbers that are protected from easy look up, thus are effectively invisible to agencies attempting to process toll and red light camera violations. Such “protected plate” lists exist in other states, and could be bloated, like California’s. In CA the list includes local politicians, bureaucrats, retired cops, many other govt. employees, and their families and adult children! Plus such oddities as museum guards and veterinarians. In each state, reporters (or citizens) should investigate to see how many, and who, are on that state’s list.

Here in CA, until August, there was a bill (AB 2097) in the legislature to change things so that those guys would receive the tickets they are due. But the politicians killed it. I urge everyone to call their legislators and their AAA about this. Otherwise, the pols and bureaucrats will keep laughing at us as we pay our $$$ fines.

I hope the judge realizes that his wife borke the law and owns up to that responsibility. I would make sure she came to court with me. Goes to show that not even judges can avoid the law.

I wonder what happened ot that judge who took the Korean laundro-mat to cleaners with millions of dollars of law suit because his shirt was not ironed crisp.

This guy is no body compared to that moron.

These cameras are very dangerous. People in a second have a choice to slam on the breaks to get a tickets, so you, knowing the person is on your tale try to beat the light.

There is also a big question about giving a person a ticket because his or her car goes through a red light. Taxed again… Ha Ha

[...] Ex-Judge Loses Long Island Red-Light Camera Fight (via CBS New York- News, Sports, Weather, Traffic and the Best of NY) Posted on October 5, 2010 by wilderside MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — A former judge has lost his court argument that a Long Island county's red-light camera system is unconstitutional. In a ruling last week, state Supreme Court Justice Anthony Parga denied Samuel Levine's claim that he should be able to confront in court those who installed Nassau County's red light cameras. Parga said he made his decision because Levine does not face a criminal conviction, but rather a violation of the vehic … Read More [...]
