The comment about the id was in response to your post about id, specifically the part I quoted. The links were in response to your op asking for local news. I thought that is what you were looking for.

As to the articles on red lights, it seems simple. Don't run them and you won't get a ticket.

Ah okay, I get it now.
It's just the way you responded, I just wasn't sure.
I later realized that you lived in Detroit, so it was about your city!

The thing is boi, my main issue is not with the red light camera's.
It's with the damn speed traps.
I personally got a ticket about 2 years, on Suitland Highway.
Now mind you, this is a highway that goes from Maryland into the District.
2 lanes in both directions, I got my ticket early on a Saturday morning.
I was the only car in sight, I was going about 43, in a area in which the speed
limit drops to 35 and I had just crossed from the Maryland part of the highway
into the D.C. side!!
Saturday morning, 2 freaking lanes in both directions on a freaking highway!!!
There are many speed "traps" in Washington D.C.

Here is a cute link, about a very helpful local chef.
He inspired me to dine at his restaurant, and the food was delicious.

One camera has problems and they are working on that.

"Of the city's 11 red-light cameras, the camera at Fourth and Jefferson is the only one that presents this complication, Davis said. That's because it's the only camera in the downtown core, where drivers try to time their arrival at intersections with the turning of a green light, by driving a consistent speed. Sometimes, Davis noted, the drivers end up entering an intersection before the light has turned green.

The problem soon will be solved, Davis said, with the installation of digital cameras later this year. The cameras will record 12 seconds of video that will show if the driver entered the intersection with a red light, and officers will no longer have to do the math. "
