Erratic Enforcement of Red Light Cameras Reported in Central Florida (Orlando)
Since the Florida legislature passed laws allowing redlight cameras, there has been an uproar as to its constitutionality and accuracy. Many Floridians are being issued citations for running red lights caught on camera. If the picture does not catch the driver's face, there should be a shot of the vehicle tag number and the tag can be traced to the vehicle's owner. However, the owner of the vehicle may not have been the one driving the vehicle at the time the light was ran. That is irrelevant in lawmakers viewpoint.
The Florida legislature says too bad and emphasizes that people should be careful who they lend their vehicles too. There is a host of constitutionality issues with these redlight cameras, most notably an invasion of privacy.
Central Florida citizens are upset because they feel the enforcement of the camera shots is erratic and very inconsistent even in comparison to neighboring counties.
