This Chicago DUI attorney has posted here, here, and here about red light cameras. Some suburban governments are taking offense at red light cameras being installed in their towns.
A plan to install red-light cameras at 20 of the most dangerous intersections in Chicago's suburbs is hitting roadblocks as officials in different municipalities question why they weren't consulted before Cook County moved ahead on the deal.
That includes Arlington Heights, where cameras have been proposed at three intersections -- even though the village board already decided some time ago the community didn't want them.
The intersections targeted for red-light cameras are all maintained by Cook County's highway department and include those areas with a higher concentration of "safety issues," including crashes, said Chris Geovanis, spokeswoman for Cook County Board President Todd Stroger. The county would collect any revenues that come from tickets.
