good!!!!! I’m glad they are getting sited it shows they are all driving like a bunch of a holes

Its a stop sign. you are supposed to stop. Quit breaking the law and complaining about it.

Sorry, but you are just sending the wrong message! You just encourage people to ignore stop signs rather than take them serious. Does it really take blood and damage fort you to show the real downside of running stop signs (or red lights for that matter)?
Take a real look at the video clips that you showed on TV, most of the cars did not even remotely follow the rules and came to a stop before moving on. Those cameras might be outside of populated areas but do you really think that those drivers act any different at a stop signs at a school or in a residential area?

I got a $510 ticket for failing to come to a complete stop before making a right turn on red while the opposing traffic had left turn arrows. This punishment does not fit the crime.

Outrageous and certainly doesn’t make me feel warm and friendly toward police. There was no one in my path of motion, no one was in danger. Horrible practice.

Can’t wait to join a class action law suit. And for the font color in the comment box to be something other than grey. Sheesh.

This is a pure money making scheme. I went to court for a camera ticket and there was a line of 1 or 200 people waiting for court. 50% or more of them were for the exact same camera ticket I had.

When I got into court it was like watching gold miners strike it rich. “Guilty $450 Guilty $450 Guilty $450 Guilty $450″. One lady confronted the judge about there being no signs stating there was a camera there or what the camera was for.

The judge just smiled and said “I know”.

I’m leaving California next month. I’ve had it. 9.5 percent income tax, 10 percent sales tax. State franchise tax board twice has sent me notices demanding a couple hundred bucks more. From what I can tell it’s for no better reason than they can get away with it.

The final straw? I also got hit with one of those $500 red light tickets. I hesitated, put on my brakes, and then made a snap decision to go through. Crossed the line less than a second after the light turned red. If I had blown through the intersection at a dangerous speed, I would have beat the light.

I guess I was really supposed to learn a hard lesson there about running a red light,tight? Wrong! All it taught me is that the system is designed to squeeze the middle class for every last penny. The poor get a free ride and the rich get out of paying their fair share.

So, congrats, you idiots who run this state! You’re chasing away yet another productive middle-class worker. Don’t come crying to me when you have to make another round of cuts to your schools and police forces.

If there’s such a big risk of collision put in a stop light you stupid cheap bastards.

A law should be made that proceeds from tickets cannot be a source of municipal revenue. Only then will traffic law enforcement be fair and unbiased.

It’s a pity when it is a governmental agency behind the scam.

blame the government, it’s the state and LA that needs money, not the police. the police are just the collectors.

I got same ticket. How can I make a complainet against it?

Hard to believe that there are only 4 locations with stop sign cameras.

They cannot pin a moving violation on someone’s driving record unless personal service has been performed. That’s the whole step where a Cop has you sign in the little red box making you promise to appear in court without admitting guilt. That promise is your bail, in effect.
That whole legal process is missing in this money grab that municipalities have turned to in an effort to fill their coffers. Arizona tried this on a large scale with speeding cameras over the last several years. The company that sold the cameras to the state assured them that, even though the tickets were not entirely legal, if enough people THOUGHT they were, and were afraid that there would be consequences and mailed in money, then the process would be profitable. At first it worked for them. Then, as word got out that the tickets were illegal and snubbed Due Process, people began ignoring them, as they should have, and the State began losing money. Earlier this year, the Governor ordered the cameras taken down.
Whoever is responsible for these stop sign cameras will talk about public safety, and whatnot, but its all about the money. If you get a ticket in the mail, and they want money under threat of a moving violation without your promise to appear in court, then the ticket is illegal. Ignore it until/unless you are properly served to appear in court in person. Any cop or attorney will tell you the same.

You never list the number of cameras there are. the map only shows 4 – is this correct, 4 cameras have produced 34000 tickets in 18 months??? that comes out to 16 tickets per sign for each and every day!

our tax dollars at work.

I wish these cameras were at every stop sign in my neighborhood. It’s a STOP sign, not a “slow down” sign (although we could use some of those too).

The biggest problem is that you can pass the DMV written test with several wrong answers. The DMV should require a perfect score, especially since many drivers won’t be re-tested for years, if ever. A lot of people simply don’t know the simplest rules of the road.

[...] Here’s an article from CBS talking about stop sign cameras. The stop sign cameras take pictures of cars rolling through stop signs. This isn’t just reserved for lights anymore. [...]

Don’t pay the one at Temescal Canyon! It’s a ripoff as it is NOT a public street. This is PARK land and they cannot enforce it, but hope for intimadation. They admit it won’t go on your driving record, but they say it will go on your credit record, but it will not! I didn’t pay and nothing ever happened.

Why isn’t Diego County included? It’s part of SoCal too, isn’t it?

There are a total of 7 cameras listed on the four sites shown, that means each camera issues 8.8 tickets per day. At 8.8 tickets per day, the state has generated $5, 896, 660.00 in the past 547 days (18 months).

Since the California State Supreme court has declared red light cameras legal, how long before the stop light cameras become legal also?

Are we supposed to feel sorry for these people? Are we supposed to be shocked by the fact that someone’s watching if we’re obeying the law or not? Hey, guess what? If you obey the sign, you won’t have $1225 in fines! It’s your own problem. Pay the fines, stop whining, stop breaking the law, and move on. Lawbreakers are paying for our state parks… I don’t have a problem with that.

Stop – means come to complete stop behind the white line. If you got caught ignoring the stop sign, then pay the fine. If you don’t like the fine, obey the stop sign.
