March Busy for Speed Camera and Red-Light Camera Problems
News reports from around the world just in the month of March document the many problems encountered by motorists because of red-light and speed cameras. In spite of the problems more and more cameras are being added in many cities and states.

/New Hampshire News Articles/ - WASHINGTON, April 26, 2005 - The contradiction has many people confused - problems with red light and speed cameras are reported throughout the world while many cities and states continue to add more cameras.

The average driver considers news of a new speed camera or red-light camera to be a good thing. Then when thousands of innocent people start getting tickets from faulty cameras the public opinion changes very quickly.

The difficulty of proving you are innocent after receiving one of the tickets by mail is extremely difficult, expensive, and requires loss of time at work to go to court. Consequently most drivers just pay the fine and move on with life.

Once the cameras have been in use for a short time, the drivers in that area learn how easy it is to prevent tickets from the faulty cameras with a simple spray can. PhotoBlocker (tm), a clear aerosol spray, is easily sprayed on a license plate. It does not alter the appearance of the plate to the naked eye, but a flash picture from one of the traffic cameras makes the number on the plate unreadable.

Published tests by the media and police departments around the world prove the spray works, and there is no specific law that makes use of the spray illegal. Many reports of the tests can be found at the company's web site at www.PhotoBlocker.com.

Problems reported by the media in March:

• Melbourne, Australia had to overturn over 500 speed camera fines because of a software glitch that sent tickets to innocent drivers.

• A study by the Virginia Dept. of Transportation determined that red-light cameras cause an increase in rear-end collisions. The report said the best way to reduce accidents at intersections is to increase the length of time of the yellow light.

• Norfolk, England shut down faulty speed cameras last year, but this month turned them back on.

• Greensboro, N.C. has turned off their red-light cameras because of problems there.

• Sydney, Australia has been confronted with extremely bad publicity over faulty speed cameras and was forced to send refunds to drivers.

• Over 2,500 drivers who were wrongly fined in Wiltshire, England this month received restitution brought on by massive complaint in that area.

Media reports about new cameras in March:

• Montgomery County, Maryland received support from the state legislature to install speed cameras.

• Speed cameras in Suffolk, England are being increased by 25 percent.

• Speed cameras are being added in a number of cities in Australia.

• Washington, D.C. is being saturated with an advertising blitz warning motorists of the expanding red-light and speed camera program.

• Alberta, Canada is adding red-light cameras to the dismay of local drivers.

• New York Gov. George Pataki wants to expand the use of the cameras from New York City throughout the state.

• The Indiana legislature is poised to approve the use of the cameras throughout that state.

• Georgia has had red-light cameras for a few years and just passed a law to allow speed cameras as well.

• San Francisco is adding more red-light cameras.

• New cameras in Philadelphia captured over 5,000 red-light violators in just one month, even after an extensive PR campaign and prominent signs on the road to warn drivers. Questions are being asked about the possibility of errors, and whether lengthening the time of the yellow light will solve the problem.
