An even chance

An even chance.
I am writing to ask for your help. I have been
fighting the installation of red light ticket
cameras (RLCs) in Pennsylvania for the last six
years, alone, armed with a fax machine and a
public library computer. The independent
highway safety studies that I make available are
rarely published or broadcast, and I feel
fortunate if I get a letter to the editor
printed every so often.
At the present time, the pro-camera interests
are staging a major campaign to gain public
acceptance of RLCs in order to blanket
Pennsylvania with cameras, like a plague of
locusts.
With a war chest of millions of dollars to spend
on direct and indirect private and public
influence, the pro-RLC lobby, including the
camera manufacturers, the Philadelphia Parking
Authority (PPA), and the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety (IIHS), stand to reap billions of
dollars through traffic citations unfairly sent
to motorists via camera surveilance.
Starting with these two articles from the
Philadelphia Daily News,
http://www.motorists.org/issues/enforce/bigpictur
e.html
http://www.motorists.org/issues/enforce/supporter
s.html, you will see how the pro-camera lobby
used political influence to get RLCs into
Pennsylvania. The questionable methodology in
their "research," and how they interpret their
own figures to support their positions can be
found at the National Motorists Association
website:
http://www.motorists.org/issues/enforce/studies.h
tml. Add to that the fact that the PPA, by law,
keeps all RLC data secret, and there is no way
to know what is fact and what is fiction.
Whatever side you stand on, I hope you will
agree that the motoring public, as well as
government policy makers, cannot make informed
decisions as to whether or not red light ticket
cameras make highways more safe or more
dangerous without all sides being heard.
I am asking that you help me get my side heard.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Tom McCarey
