Red light camera enforcement is dead

The City Council just voted 13-0 to kill off the program, which had become kind of a joke - not because of its objectives but because of its enforcement. Or should we say lack of enforcement. The authorities, for various reasons, can't force red-light camera violators to pay the fine. Writing a check is voluntary, which might explain why the city has been losing $1.5 million years to keep the program operating. It all ends July 31. (AP)
