Sean, liberal fascism is a contradiction. Get your head straight on this. The profit thing is right wing fascism, anything to make money for big business
Red light cameras--rebellion in California
Date: Sunday, 03. June 2007
Aug 2, 2001 -- San Diego's red light cameras have been shut down due to a rebellion by citizens. The issues are privacy, improper implementation of the cameras, and the involvement of private corporations. San Diego has been using the cameras to monitor red light runners since 1998. The city shut down the cameras in June this year, citing legal issues. Earlier, police had discovered that the sensors that trigger the photos were not installed in the proper locations in the intersections. Almost 300 motorists are involved in a San Diego Superior Court challenge to the automated tickets. They are arguing that the computer-controlled cameras--run by a private, for-profit corporation--violate their constitutional right to due process. "We are opposed to use of automated law enforcement because an individual who is accused by a computer has absolutely no realistic way to defend themselves against those accusations," said lawyer Arthur Tait, who is leading the challenge.
