Red-Light Tickets - Answers From the VP

(516) 319-5822

Red-light cameras have been a popular topic on the Traffic Ticket Nassau County Blog. A recent article published by the Poughkeepsie Journal provides answers from American Traffic Solutions, the Arizona firm that manufactures the red-light cameras to many frequently asked questions and concerns.

The red-light camera system was first installed in NYC in 1993 to monitor problematic intersections that experience a high rate of drivers running red lights. Today, the general public is concerned, feeling that theses summons cannot be contested and that some tickets are issued falsely.

Here’s what the manufacturers Vice President of Communications Charles Territo had to say to thePoughkeepsie Journal.

“We do the initial screening to identify whether or not a violation took place and whether it is able to be prosecuted… There are times that we take a picture of the rear of a car and also take a video of the vehicle. If the criteria identifying a violation are met, a picture is taken. However, if the vehicle suddenly stops and doesn’t create the violation, then that is dismissed… In fact, there’s a great deal of redundancy in the review process to ensure that only violations are issued."

Avoid a summons by stopping at red-lights, without trying to beat it. If you have been issued a red-light ticket, or any other violation in Nassau County, do not plead guilty.
