If you get a ticket, you CAN fight it, and win. The contract between the City and Redflex contains illegal language concerning "cost neutrality" - which has already caused the City of San Mateo to rewrite their contract. If the cameras are not preventing accidents or making the intersections, it does seem that the only purpose is to increase revenues for the City, and that just isn't allowed by law. Do some research and challenge the ticket you get - you will not have to pay the fine, at least until the City changes their contract with Redflex.

Editor, isn't one thread on this topic enough?

Yes. I recommend you post your comments in this thread:

I know this is confusing, but this thread was actually started by the poster, Seeing Red, not by the "editor." The "posted by Editor" means the story was posted by the editor.
