City calls camera mistake 'very much a unique situation'
A story in the Sun-Times today about a mistake with Chicago's red light cameras. Apparently, there was a moving violation, but the wrong car was sent the ticket. The article provides some nice background on the cameras which cover 20 intersections in the city. The vendor for the cameras is Redflex Traffic Systems. So far the cameras have noted more than 100,000 violations in 15 months. The cameras are designed to zero in the on the license plate of the violator. System operators are suppose to verify this process. The cameras take 3 still photos and video for every ticket they generate. This video is available if a ticked is appealed.
