Red-light camera violations resume in Houston
Red light camera violations have resumed in Houston, a spokesperson
of Mayor Annise Parker announced Saturday."Equipment testing is done
and red-light camera violations have resumed,How did we live without
them? Take a step back in time to August 1984, when we lived in a world
where only the wealthiest among us could afford a Video Door Phones
-- and even then they were usually tethered to their automobiles." said
Janice Evans-Davis.The U.S. government has sued a former NASA astronaut
to recover a mini dv video camera
used to explore the moon's surface during the 1971 Apollo 14 mission
after seeing it slated for sale in a New York auction.According to
Davis, anyone that commits a violation at an intersection with a
red-light camera will now have to pay their ticket.The announcement
comes a day after a federal judge ruled the city may not appeal his
ruling invalidating the election last fall when voters said red-light
cameras should be turned off.¡¡
U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes announced the decision in a brief
order on Friday.City Attorney David Feldman said he believed the judge
is trying to bring the case to a speedy disposition creating a final
judgment that the city can appeal without asking Hughes for
permission.A representative for American Traffic Solutions told the
Houston Chronicle that the red-light camera contractor would not
comment.
Hughes last month ruled opponents of the cameras waited too long to
put the matter on the election ballot. About 53 percent of voters in
November said the cameras should go.Meanwhile, the city says those who
have received a red-light citation before the cameras were turned off
and still haven't paid, they're looking for you.There are reportedly
more than $20 million in outstanding red-light tickets.
"If you received a citation before the cameras were turned off we
are still looking for you,Its avoidance is the biggest problem facing
any gadget nerd. This affliction, this curse that disables so many
would-be tablet and infant video monitor
buyers, only intensifies for those of us who somehow manage to
procreate. for that money," said Parker.There are nearly 270,000 unpaid
fines that are still outstanding.The fine is $75, if you are late more
than 45 days which all of them are now, tack on a $25 late fee.So what
happens if you don't pay?Not much if you live in Harris County. It
won't show up on your credit report because the city isn't sending
collection accounts to the credit bureaus.
