The City Council voted to add 2 more cameras on Murrieta Hot Springs, one at the 215 freeway intersection and one at the 15 freeway entrance. A ticket can cost a person between $471 . If you attempt to defend yourself in court and lose, it will cost you $768. Our goal is to stop Taxation by Citation in Murrieta CA. If a Red Light Camera ticket is issued, one cannot fight it in court. The courts in Riverside have decided the camera picture is proof you are guilty. We all know camera videos can be manipulated. Other concerns is how often is the equipment calibrated, maintained or replaced. The taxpayers of Murrieta are paying over $6000 a month rental for each camera. The taxpayers, then may receive a ticket from the cameras they are paying for. What a scam! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Get rid of the cameras. Lengthen the yellows. Why lengthen yellows? It is a real cheap way to reduce accidents - so it can be done at every dangerous corner in the region, not just at a few corners, as with with the expensive cameras. A well-done academic study says that a 1/2 sec. longer yellow cuts severe crashes by 30%, and a full sec. longer makes a 40% cut. (Source: "Development of Guidelines for Treating Red-Light Running," Texas Transportation Institute, pg 2-20.) Even though longer yellows reduce crashes, the camera Industry wants to SHORTEN them! If passed, AB 529, by Asm. Gatto (Glendale), will allow cities to reduce many posted speed limits by 5 mph. The lower limits will, in turn, allow them to shorten yellows. The shortening permitted by a 5 mph decrease in the limit will increase the number of tickets by at least 50%. (Four of the sponsoring cities have red light cameras.) Worse, the shortening will increase severe accidents, by 30 to 40%. (Source: The TTI study, pg. 2-20.) (The accident rate increases less than does the number of violations because many accidents occur multiple seconds after the light has gone red - the driver is impaired (medical condition, liquor, drugs), and fails to see the red light, at all.) AB 529 is moving along, fast, with a vote scheduled soon. Phone your assemblyperson and your state senator, ASAP. It takes no more than 3 minutes per call. And then phone the AAA and ask them to oppose AB 529.
