Auburn85 434 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 In Alabama a citation cannot be written to someone who ran a red light unless a police officer witnesses the violation Also state representatives have immunity over most laws. Meaning a state representative can drive down your quiet little street going 100mph and there's nothing we can do about it. If an officer tries to arrest the representative, they risk the possibility of termination County occupational taxes are illegal, but somehow city occupational taxes are legal? Can anyone else name any in Alabama or wherever you may be from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCTAU 3,362 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 In Alabama a citation cannot be written to someone who ran a red light unless a police officer witnesses the violation 134846[/snapback] Wouldn't this be a law so that cameras can't be used?

I think that is a great idea because people don't seem to know what red means in this town. Put one on college/magnolia, magnolia/donahue, and wire/webster and that would reduce the number of violations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn85 434 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 You're right. So that's why cameras are being installed that way alot of police eyes can see people run the res light. But right now, Alabama law says that only a citation for running a red light has to be witnessed by a police officer, So if Joe Blow sees someone run a red light and he gets the liscence plate # and calls the police, they can't do anything about it. That's why many people and police want to use this loophole to crack down on this rising, and dangerous problem. They are thinking of doing this in Montgomery and they have a few places that already do, but SOME CRITICS feel it's a pressumed guilt issue. If you ask me the following reasons by critics are knit-pickey: someone borrowing your car and running the red light, you, the owner are sent the citation through the mail. A car dealership lets someone test drive a car and they run a red light. The citation is sent to the car delearship. In conclusion, I agree that we need cameras at traffic lights.
