1/28/2005 Greenville North Carolina Puts Hold on Camera SystemGreenville, North Carolina suspends implementation of its new red light camera system pending the outcome of a key court case. Faced with a Guilford County, North Carolina court ruling that found red light camera systems violated the state constitution, Greenville has decided not to begin issuing tickets with its new system. A judge is expected to rule on how much money for the camera systems can go to "administrative costs". In one case, that amount was set at 10 percent. This is a problem for Greenville whose contract specifies 64 to 94 percent of income will go to Redflex, an Australian camera contractor.Article Excerpt: In a case involving High Point's camera system, a judge ruled recently that state law requires that "clear proceeds" from red-light tickets issued under the automatic camera system go to the local public school system.Source: Red light on issuing tickets: Greenville holds off giving photographed motorists tickets for running (Cox News Service, 1/27/2005) Permanent Link for this item Return to Front Page |
