They'll raise taxes too though. After all, the 'crats are in power now.

I'm all for it....we have cops sitting around watching for speeders and red light runners...if we use cameras to do thier job...we could cut back on the police force we could easily drop  2 or 3 cops and save a good chunk of change.....cut 1 cop per shift......

I lent my car to my brother from out of state who is generally a very safe driver.  He got distracted momentarily by some new construction and ran a light.  He admitted his error and paid the ticket he got from the officer that observed the infraction.  My issue is, when this red light camera is installed the registered owner of the vehicle gets the ticket.  Sure, my brother would have paid the ticket that would have been issued to me but the ticket still goes to me even tho I wasn't even in the car at the time.

Without identifying the driver issuing a citation to the owner is exceptionally unreasonable.  As with all other vehicle violations the citation is issued to the driver, not the owner.  Iowa law requires the driver of a motor vehicle to be in compliance with the law, it does not extend to the owner of the vehicle.

The way that I understand it from the QC Times is that these tickets do not go on your driving record. I can not state that as a fact as I have no personal experience, but that is how I understand it from the Times. Many have said 'what if I wasn't the driver?' - well the way the Times reported, the ticket gives both the date and time so a person should be able to figure out just who WAS driving the car. Let's face it, we don't let just any tom, dick, or harry drive our vehicles - the driver will be someone we know and can locate and hit up for the fine!
