Several years ago this blog documented the shameful saga of Fullerton’s red light cameras, which were shut down after a judge declared that the city had been operating them illegally. That was an embarrassing moment for the mystified members of city council; even more so for the city attorney who lost in court and then stuck us with the bill.
The cameras were removed, but the poles and strobes still hang over Harbor Blvd today.
Muy bonita, Fullerton.
Should the city take them down?

*Those that have voted for Red Light Cameras in the past……are certainly right up there with Benito, Joe Stalin and Adolph as supreme and shameful robbers of liberty. Removing all the paraphenalia that goes along with those cameras is an important part of closing the loop….rather than holding people hostage, with just the psychological thought….that they could be put back up….the very next day.

Stalin and Hitler? That’s a little extreme. Still, some good points Ron.
