El Paso's Red Light Cameras
"On February 13th, I sent out an article about how the redlight camera scam that city's scheme to force upon the public is just a revenue making scheme for governments. These links are just a few of how this is true.http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/02/243.asp

The day after I sent that email, the City of Lubbock, Texas decided to actually listen to the citizens that pay their salaries out of taxes and remove the red-light cameras, since they were causing more accidents and costing the city more money:

Apparently, I didn't see El Paso take action to decrease the red-light cameras. Instead, you, as politicians, decided to increase the number of these infringing cameras against the will of the public on the same day that Lubbock removed them:

It blatantly appears that the city of El Paso is in the business of stealing more, more, more money out of the pockets of citizens, not non-citizens, but only citizens, using this red-light camera fraud. (Ask the police officers how much money they have collected from non-citizens compared to citizens that ran through the red lights. Does discrimination against El Paso citizens mean anything?)
This also is a big reminder that progressive politicians are not to be trusted at all."
