Georgia law restricting red-light cameras takes effect Jan. 1
Quote:
A new law in Georgia is intended to make it tougher for local governments to post red-light cameras. It takes effect Jan. 1, 2009.
The cameras that are used in more than 20 cities and counties across the state snap pictures of red-light runners or speeders’ vehicle tags. Tickets are mailed to the vehicles’ owners, regardless of who was driving at the time.
The new law allows cities and counties to continue to use automated cameras at intersections, but puts new restrictions on local governments. The rule requires them to get permits from the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up cameras.

In other words: The State wants a piece of the action.

I could not agree more. While I believe in legitimate traffic enforcement, I also do not see anything here other than a money maker for the various government agencies involved.

The article says that the camera takes a pix of the license plate, then mails a ticket to the registered ownere. BUT if the owner fills out a form certifying that he was not the driver, then the whole thing goes away.

I think it stinks.
