Ticket well deserved.
The private company runs the cams, and take a percentage, then the rest goes to the city/state/etc.
Here's your friend the cams and flashes  |
You're more than entitled to your opinion. For your information most, if not all traffic lights in Ohio are mutual red. My light being red didn't mean the other light was green. They were both red when I entered.
I ran the red light, thus I paid the ticket and didn't fight it.
However the state having a private company come after its citizens and removing the law enforcers from law enforcement is what I had a problem with. It was an accident I wasn't rushing to get to the next bar, my friend was in trouble and I f'ed up. Had I had that discussion with one of Columbuses finest he probably would have given me a warning.
But if the state can hire private companies to deem us guilty for crimes on the road, whats next?
