Photo tickets dismissed in San Diego A judge in San Diego dismissed 290 tickets issued by a new red light camera system. The issue was a $70 contingency fee paid per ticket to the private company operating the system, which gave that company a clear monetary incentive to issue more tickets. The case in question may impact the fifty other cities in the nation which also use red light camera systems. The judge did not question the accuracy of the technology itself. http://abcnews.go.com/wire/US/reuters20010904_522.html [Jim Griffith via risks-digest Volume 21, Issue 65] 0:00 # G!
