State Sen. Rickey Hendon told his weekly community meeting March 22 that he'd been able to amend the red light camera reform bill enough to change the red-light cameras "from a billion dollar to a half billion dollar business." Here's my understanding of the reforms. Stay tuned for where the bill goes from here.
---Stop cameras from giving tickets for right turns on red.
---Police must review all camera-originated tickets
---A study of safety at camera intersections, followed by the removal of all cameras at places where accidents increased after cameras were installed.
---Cameras will not click unless you actually go through the red light.
Want to know the political background about How red light cameras got in Illinois ? Hint: it's very sleazy and involves lobbyists and foreign companies.
