(Redflex) Canton Ohio Traffic Enforcement Cameras: Frequently Asked Questions Part 2: What (if)

Sooo, no matter how many red lights I run, and no matter how fast I go in a school zone, as long as I pay the fine, there are no other penalties?

Awesome!  I think the unrestricted speed in my ’94 Taurus Wagon is 134mph.  Let’s see if I can hit that in a school zone in Canton and get a Redflex ticket for it.

Hey, as long as nobody creams a school-kid, there’s no problem with any speed they’re doing, as long as they can pay.  Now that’s safety!

Next, we have this:

So, you have to “rat” on whomever was driving your car, signing a sworn statement pointing the finger at some other party.

Or you are automatically guilty of the violation.  Wow, guilty until proven innocent, a prosecutor’s wet dream.

Never mind the fact that you can blame your violations on your minor child or relative and tell them to refuse to pay.  As far as I know, they can’t collect any such civil judgments against a minor, so go nuts, people

Precautions are for sissies.  Precautions don’t feel good, they might get in the way of our pleasure of collecting on our fabricated tickets.  Especially the ones like the guy that got a ticket for over 130mph in a truck that had a top speed of 99mph NEW!

Yes they claim they will have Canton Police Department officers reviewing the tickets, but they’ve been caught NUMEROUS times violating this promise in various states and even Canada.  Issuing all sorts of tickets with no review what-so-ever.  Chillicothe was one of the locations ( according to quarterwave).

Well then.

This first point is one I can’t really take an issue with.  According to their claims (uh, how far can they be trusted anyway) the system doesn’t trigger unless you cross the line after the light turns red.

But I will take huge issue with their assertion that “we don’t ticket on legal right on red turns.”  There are a huge number of cases where this was found to be false.

The short answer is: “Yes, you will always receive a ticket, no matter how legal your actions were.  Enjoy forking your money over and don’t even try to think about fighting it.”

Let’s continue, shall we?
