Civil forfeiture without a conviction for a related crime is governmental larceny. PERIOD. All the officials involved should be tried for larceny and go to jail if convicted.

The three major credit reporting agencies stopped accepting unpaid ticket camera violations as valid debts because they were not debts the people voluntarily signed up to pay.

It is great to see the for-profit red light camera rackets come to an end in Texas. Many thanks to Byron Schirmbeck with the Texas Campaign for Liberty, many members of the National Motorists Association, and many local people & groups who worked tirelessly to end these governmental theft rackets with the cameras. People who live in and/or shop in the few cities that maliciously extended their contracts should stop shopping in those cities until the cameras are gone. Visit each business where you have shopped and tell the owners/managers they can have your business back when the cameras are gone. Business owners have some power with city councils, ask them to use it to end the for-profit camera rackets.

Chief Stevenson seems to think theft from people that may well be innocent is OK. Moral people don't think that way. Civil forfeiture without a conviction for a related crime is theft. PERIOD!
All the officials involved should be prosecuted for larceny with resulting jail sentences if convicted. This must become the law in every state to end the abusive thefts from those not convicted of crimes.

Civil forfeiture should be allowed only after a criminal conviction for a related crime. Anything else is theft and all the officials involved should be prosecuted for larceny, with jail time if they are convicted.

Civil forfeiture without a conviction on a related crime is government larceny. The officials involved should be prosecuted for larceny - and if convicted should be barred from serving in governmental positions for life. James C. Walker, National Motorists Association

Chicago, along with DC, runs one of the most corrupt ticket camera rackets in the nation. The tickets go to mostly safe drivers to steal money "for the dastardly crime of driving safely for the actual conditions". Chicago residents should revolt over the larcenous programs and vote out every camera supporting Alderman and other officials who condone these programs to steal from mostly safe drivers.
There is a terribly simple solution to license plate readers for the privacy issue. At a maximum of 72 hours, the data on all plates that did not get a hit for further investigation must be permanently deleted from the database. There is NO justification to keep records of peoples' travels when the plate numbers do not cause a probable-cause reason for further investigation.
This is just another insane proposal to tax the commuters and visitors that come to Chicago bringing needed economic activity to make Chicago successful. Make it too onerous to come to Chicago to work or shop and those people will simply take their employment and shopping to other places that aren't trying to rob their wallets so viciously.
Chicago's gesture to reduce camera tickets by 29% is a ruse designed to convince gullible people that the camera racket is now fair. IT IS NOT. If Chicago added one second to the yellow intervals or changed the grace to one full second, the violation rates would drop by about 80%. This would both kill the profits AND reveal that the cameras have been a government-run for-profit racket to ticket mostly safe drivers for the sole purpose of illegitimate profits.
Increased rear end crashes and near misses as people panic brake to save $490 are common and are a LOT more common when cities like Fremont find excuses to set or leave the yellow intervals too short to increase the amount of revenue literally stolen from safe drivers with the deliberately improper engineering. It is a racket that is essentially equivalent to larceny. NO ONE should support red light cameras, they are always money grab rackets.
"For undisclosed reasons, the city switched the yellow lights back to 4.7 seconds in November."
The rea$on$ yellow$ $witched to 0.7 $econd$ $horter are ab$olutely obviou$, and tho$e rea$on$ do NOT include $afety. In earlier studies, adding 0.7 seconds to the yellows dropped the violation rate by over 70% and the reduction was permanent, not temporary as the predatory for-profit camera companies like Redflex and ATS falsely claim.
Fremont continues to do business with Redflex. There are now five guilty pleas or verdicts in federal Redflex related indictments for fraud, bribery or extortion. NO ONE should do business with Redflex, and perhaps it tells us more about Fremont's insistence on keeping the predatory government-run money-grab racket of red light cameras in operation. The rea$on$ are obviou$ to all of u$.
