[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1321273, member: 52978"] I got one, or I should say my pickup got one a couple of years ago. I think my daughter was driving, not sure. There is like a 2 or 3 month lag time between the time they take your picture and you get your ticket. $75.00 money grab. Here in Houston the city was singing their praises about the lights and had plans to install more. They were citing statistics about less intersection accidents..it was challenged by a couple of lawyers who took these cameras personal. Come to find out, not only had the company who installed the lights fudged on the yellow light timings but there were actually a large increase in rear end accidents before you got to the intersections because people were scared of getting caught in the cameras and stopping short. Voters said hell no. The mayor pulled the plugs on the cameras. The company who owned the company (somewhere in Arizona) sued the city saying they broke their contract. It might still be in litigation but the cameras are off here in the big H. A lot of the little bergs around here, tho, still have them and you can also be cited for not stopping on red as well as speeding. [/QUOTE]
