Disappointed, I am;

that there isn't more upset about the apparent red light camera scam.

By way of background;

If you vary the amount of time that the yellow traffic signal is lit; you carry vary the number of citations that can be issued at the intersection, for running red lights.

The shorter the yellow light; the more citations.

There are safety implications; the shorter the yellow light; the more traffic accidents there will be.
Apparently, the actual timing of the yellow lights at traffic camera intersections was deliberately set at an interval that maximized citations and minimized public safety.

When called on it, by Jim Villinucci, they lied to his face; and they lied into the ears of every radio listener. And then then went out and changed the timing on all the lights. And then they got back on Villanucci's show and lied about having done that, too.

I feel comfortable using the words lied, lied, lied, and lied; based on the testimony which I have heard from every single caller, but one. And he was the guy to lied to us all the day before.

I cannot personally prove that they lied; but I very, very much believe that they did.

... and I don't understand why more people aren't pissed off.
