Anti-Red Light Camera Rally Set For Tuesday
[From Anti-Red Light Camera Rally Set For Tuesday - Parking Ticket Geek]
Here is another batch of red light camera info. While I think this is an important topic, I think I am going to focus more on smart camera technologies in future posts and less on red light cameras. For a good overview of the issues around red light cameras in Chicago, the parking ticket geek suggests we look at the CBS 2 coverage.
There is also a protest happening:
Tuesday evening at 7:00, Peter Breen, candidate for Illinois State Representative in the 41st district, is encouraging everyone opposed to red light cameras to come out for a protest right in front of RedSpeed Illinois, LLC, one of the state’s largest red light camera companies.
. . .
Breen’s goal is nothing short of ambitious. He wants to rid the state of all red light cameras.
. . .
The keynote speaker for the event will be Illinois State Senator Dan Duffy (R-Lake Barrington), an outspoken critic of red light cameras. Duffy has pre-filed a bill (SB-2466) in the Illinois Senate that pushes for removal of red light cameras in Illinois.
In addition, Illinois gubernatorial candidate Adam Andrzejewski and Brian Costin of theSchaumburg Freedom Coalition will speak at the event.
Breen is very serious on the issue and just last week launched BanRedCams.com, a website dedicated to this issue to announce the rally, disseminate information about red light cameras, and keep people up to date on the issues.
The rally takes place at 7 PM tomorrow in front of of RedSpeed Illinois, located at 400 Eisenhower Lane N, Lombard, IL (just off of Finley Road, north of Butterfield, IL-56).
Breen encourages everyone attending to bring a flash light in order to “turn them on RedSpeed and give them a taste of their own medicine,” he said laughing.
