[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on OPs side but I don't know if there is much you can do. I think you can try to contest them and if nobody from teh city's side shows up they will get dismissed. That worked for me once, but in other instances my appeals have been ignored.

With current technology, the city could easily install cameras on every corner that give you a $100 ticket for exceeding teh speed limit by 1 mph, or stopping one inch over the white line, etc.  We don't want to live in that city and woudln't accept it.

Why should we accept the current state of affairs?

A much fairer system would give a warning the first time, the maybe a $25 ticket, then escalate to $50, $100.

$500 is really punitive (at least for some people)...

Stop driving if you can't handle stopping at a stop sign.  These cameras are out there because too many kids have been killed by careless drivers like OP.[/quote]

OP didn’t hit anyone so it seems they were driving in a safe manner. Those cameras can’t distinguish safe driving from unsafe behavior and should be removed. Stopping for three seconds before accelerating would be unsafe if a pedestrian is in the crosswalk but the camera wouldn’t ticket you. [/quote]
