Paul writes:

Why can't ANY county or city in Virginia decide on their own to safequard their citizens at intersections where facts show RED LIGHT Violations?

Victims or Potential Victims should have more support and rights than the Lawbreaker(s).

Fred Mittelman writes:

The one problem with 'red light" and other traffice camera systems, that isn't often mentioned in discussions of them, is the fact that you can't cross-examine them as you would the cop using the radar. This violates the 6th Amendment to the U.S. Consitution.
