related traffic offenses because the camera can’t identify the driver of the vehicle.
A decade-long legislative battle ensued in the State of Florida before former Gov.
Charlie Crist signed HB325 into law in May of 2010, resulting in the Law of Florida 2010-
80 taking effect on July 1, 2010. Within one month of the law taking effect, more than 50
Florida municipalities and cities were using the cameras. These cameras can address speed-
ing and stopping violations, depending on the decisions of the municipalities using them.
The National Motorist Association opposes the use of the red light cameras and
cites ten objections to them: they do not improve safety, there is no certifiable witness to
alleged violations, ticket recipients are not adequately notified, the driver of the vehicle is
not positively identified, ticket recipients are not notified quickly, they discourage the syn-
chronization of traffic lights, they do not prevent most intersection accidents, there are better
alternatives to cameras, they are designed to inconvenience motorists, and taking pictures of
dangerous drivers does not stop the drivers (an example given is that a fugitive could speed
through an intersection at 100 mph and not activate the camera as long as the light was
green). The city of Crystal River is considering traffic cameras. That report in next week's
Squawk Box.
