Today, a proposal to increase the cost of a red light camera ticket from $100 to $125 was weighed in committee. The additional $25 is for the violator to attend some sort of driver's education class.
If you choose to ignore taking the class, your fine then increases by an additional $50 to make your fine $175.
One problem may be that current video technology cannot identify the driver of the vehicle. Tickets are issued to the registered owner of the vehicles.

Aren't they already getting enough revenue from this? We have already paid more than $300 in fines from these tickets, having never gotten a ticket in 10 years before that. What are they doing with the money??

Maybe the owner will sent the vehicle car college after all, people don't violate red lights, cars do.!

The current law in Illinois needs to be changed so that these cameras take a picture of the actual driver committing the violation. After all it is all about safety.
It is time to start voting against any aldermen that is in favor of this. Vote them all out.
