might be a reason why its getting stopped.

we have 2 of em in my area, i hate those damn things. i feel like i have to get ready to gas it or hit the brakes in an instant if the light changes. F that, i try not to go through those intersections when possible

Got my ticket in the mail the other day from one in Baton Rouge. we even have them in my small town which sucks cause we never wear seat belts and everyone here runs the same redlight lol..

Minnesota banned it a while back. Seems they found it illegal because it assumes the owner is the driver. (my over simplified explanation)

You'd think this would apply to parking tickets too

The person who owns the car gets a ticket...NOT any points though...so u just make the person who was driving pay...

Ha Ha. Thank you Mississippi for doing something right for once. Now if we can just ban WELFARE we will be doing alot better..

As I understand it, Columbus was the only town with one. Wait!!! I live in Columbus. They put that thing in the dumbest intersection. You would think they would have put it on the main strip on the light that EVERYBODY runs???? Nope- they put it in an intersection in the hood where there is very little traffic. Maybe just to try it out.

Oh, and on to the welfare.... the largest employer in MS is MS Welfare. No wonder we are the poorest state with crappy education, roads and so on. How the hell can we get anything worth a crap when there are so many folks on "the draw"??? DAH!!!!

I dunno about the cameras though- they never really bothered me for some reason. I know big brother and all of that jazz- but at intersections, I actually think it is a good idea. Maybe not for tickets, but for security why not? Or maybe the police (in my hometown especially) actually stop people for running lights!!!

off rant.
