Installation of 10 new traffic cameras has led to a whopping 10,000 tickets issued in Heath, Ohio in just a 4 week period.
To make matters worse, the turn around time on the mailed citations is such a long period of time that many of the offenders unknowingly racked up quite a few more tickets in the meantime. And then, to challenge a ticket, a $100 bond must be posted. So essentially, the offender has paid the ticket hoping to get refunded after their hearing.
The 10,000 citations would mean $830,000 in revenue for the city, but it's likely many of the tickets will be dropped.
Some have stated the Redflex traffic cameras are just too sensitive. A huge possibility seeing as how Redflex takes a portion of the ticket earnings.
The Redflex website boasts "the longest consistently-operating company in the photo enforcement industry."
