Faulty red light cameras produced thousands of bogus traffic tickets

At least 13,000 Chicago motorists have been cited with undeserved tickets thanks to malfunctioning red-light cameras, according to a 10-month investigation published Friday by the Chicago Tribune. The report found that the $100 fines were a result of "faulty equipment, human tinkering or both."
"But they said that doesn't mean the drivers weren't breaking the law, and they defended the red light camera program overall as a safety success story."
So it's okay to get a ticket no matter if the camera is fault or not because you broke the laws anyway. That's what's wrong with police these days-.
