No More Red Light Cameras in Missouri

No More Red Light Cameras in Missouri!

American Traffic Solutions (ATS) is a company in Arizona that runs most red light cameras (sometimes called "scameras") nationwide, and their only interest in Missouri is making these cameras legal. It should come as no surprise to you that they have been lining the pockets of Missouri’s representatives.

There is no due process or right to trial by jury with red light cameras.  The cameras prey on motorists and line the pockets of the city and the Red Light Camera manufacturing company. Some people call them "scameras" because they are a giant scam on taxpayers.

WE SAY NO MORE!

 

Whereas: Red Light Cameras are a direct violation of rights protected by the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution; and

Whereas: Red Light Cameras are detrimental to safety, because they are placed in dangerous locations where signal timing has been altered to increase revenues; and

Whereas: Studies have shown that the use of Red Light Cameras increases accidents, contradicting the claims made by the private companies who operate them; and

Whereas: Evidence shows that Red Light Cameras are being used to generate funds, and not to promote safety, as claimed by legislators and local officials; and

Whereas: The State of Missouri continues to seek avenues to fund their out-of-control spending rather than make necessary cuts.

Therefore, be it resolved that we, the undersigned, urge you to support House Bill 1976, which would prohibit all new Red Light Cameras in the state, and to oppose and vote against any bill that would allow the use of unmanned traffic control devices used to generate tickets, specifically Red Light Cameras, with no exceptions.
