REDFLEX CAMERAS--MORE NEWS

..
(1) In an article found at www.thenewspaper.com/news/36/3642.asp, it is reported that Reflex lost market share, gave their spokesperson a bonus and promised to "avoid ballot initiatives" by blocking voter access to the ballot and "create positive environment for renewals and expansion" by increasing the use of front groups to support automated ticketing machines"--wow, the Aussies want to screw with our electoral process over red light enforcement cameras?
.
(2) In Vista, California, a judge threw out a Redflex camera system based citation where the defense lawyer alleged that "unsupervised civilians access to private DMV information was a violation of 21455.5 because that section does NOT authorize such disclosure"--keep notes folks!!
.
Blogger Bob's comments: I won a case in a superior court appellate department on more traditional foundation and hearsay grounds (People v John Macias). I also argued in my briefing the DMV issue but got no where with the three judge panel I was in front of (Powell, Kohn and Brisco as I recall). Too bad the constitution is so badly butchered by some judges and we do not have uniform interpretations. On another note, didn't the City of Victorville authorize the unbridled access to DMV records as well and Angeles Valles and Ryan McEachron signed a new contract authorizing that--great people to consider when you vote for your next Congressman!!
