Big Brother Denied Cameras in Virginia; DC Gives the Go-Ahead to Raise Cash

The state of Virginia has decided to discontinue the use of red light cameras, citing the constitutional rights of citizens to face their accusers.

The District of Columbia, on the other hand, is going ahead with plans to activate four new speeding cameras. The District collected $2.2 million in revenue from its existing nine cameras in January alone. Speeders caught by the new surveillance units up to March 21 will be sent warnings, after that date, tickets up to $200 for each infraction will be mailed to offenders.
