“Perhaps the worst example is our red light camera tickets (now banned in many cities). A CA red-light camera ticket is $490. The next highest state is $250. Most are around $100.”
Red light cameras have ben proven to cause MORE problems than they cure, such as massive increases in rear end accidents where these cameras are located.

There is also the constitutionality of it- yes, state judges have signed off on them, but state judges are politicians FIRST and foremost, they could care less about anyone but their constituents, which are the people who pay them off$$…

In reply to Richard Rider.

Red light camera tickets are on their way out, everywhere….how those ,multi MILLION$$$ “retire at age 50” pensions are going to keep rolling is anyone’s guess, especially since CalTURDS is not down to a 73% funded level at the end of the BIGGEST bull market in US History!

Maybe Teddy Steals can advise CalTURDS on better ways to scam….

What is not mentioned (and is seldom understood by Californians) is that our traffic tickets (including “fees”) are FAR higher than other states — about triple, I’d estimate.

Perhaps the worst example is our red light camera tickets (now banned in many cities). A CA red-light camera ticket is $490. The next highest state is $250. Most are around $100.
