Northeast Region Traffic Camera Limitation Act
Whereas, The Northeast Region considers the use of traffic cameras to be an unwelcome intrusion and a violation of Northeasterners' right to privacy, and;
Whereas, The Northeast Region finds that some municipalities use traffic cameras in a manner that decreases public safety, such as intentionally shortening the length of yellow lights, and;
Whereas, The Northeast Region considers the use of traffic cameras to be focused more on increasing revenue through the issuance of fines rather than promoting public safety; therefore:
Be it resolved by the Northeast General Assembly:
SECTION 1. The Northeast hereby bans the use of existing traffic cameras for the purposes of issuing fines for infractions not resulting in an accident.
SECTION 2. The Northeast shall continue to permit the use of traffic cameras for the purposes of accident investigation, and for the purposes of issuing fines for moving violations that result in accidents (such as collisions with pedestrians and other vehicles).
SECTION 3. Effective date. The Northeast Region Traffic Camera Limitation Act shall go into effect on May 1, 2008.
