Does Oakland Still Have Red Light Cameras 2018

Oakland Documents (Program Airtight)
... and Countywide Information (encounter Set # 6)

Some of Oakland's tickets tin possibly be ignored. If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name and address on it, it is a fake ticket, what I call a "Snitch Ticket." In 2009, Snitch Tickets were 42% of everything Oakland mailed out. For more details about Snitch Tickets, see the heading below and the Snitch Ticket section on the Your Ticket page.

If yous take an Oakland red calorie-free camera ticket, exist sure to look at the Countywide Information department, beneath .

Do y'all live in the Southward finish of Alameda County or the Due north end of Santa Clara County - State Sen. Ellen Corbett's former District?

In 2014 Sen. Corbett "termed out," and was replaced by this person

who will exist running for re-election in 2018 and 2022.

Oakland's Internal Battle Over Yellowish Lengths & the Resulting Ups and Downs of Ticketing (Mainly Ups)

In December 2009 Oakland's traffic engineers - without formally alarm the law contumely - added one 2nd to the length of the yellows at the camera enforced intersections. As a result, ticketing dropped by nearly half. The police quickly noticed the drop, got upset, so by complaining to anybody in sight forced the traffic engineers to remove the extra second; the ticketing was back up, past mid-2010.
Read the written report heard by the Quango's Public Safe Committee, accept the time to sentry the video of that meeting (at the end of the cerise light photographic camera detail activist Sanjiv Handa slams the City's efforts at traffic control), read Matthew Artz' article (archived copy) ("Ticket Revenue Factored Heavily in Oakland Reddish Low-cal Cameras"), and read the in-depth study by SaferStreetsLA.

More recently, outset in May 2012 ticketing was a lot higher. In 2012 there were 4317 more more than tickets than in 2011, costing the public an boosted $2.one million in fines. At 27th & Northgate, ticketing rose 43% from 2011 to 2012. During a 9-25-12 written report session there was no give-and-take of the increase in ticketing, except that Councilmember Nancy Nadel seemed to exist pleased with the very heavy ticketing at 27th & Northgate. She said (at 36:10 on the video), "Peradventure more than one ticket volition go them to realize that it's (turning correct without making a full end) not OK."
In 2013 ticketing at 27th & Northgate was 49% higher than in 2011 and ticketing citywide was also 49% higher.

Oakland's Snitch Tickets

A table received in November. 2012 revealed that Snitch Tickets (fake tickets which tin can be ignored) have been as much every bit 42% of everything the Metropolis sent out.

The Urban center signed a contract with RedFlex on Aug. 31, 2007.

The contract is "flat charge per unit" - it does not include an illegal "cost neutrality" clause.

The contract likewise says:
Definitions. "Alert Period" means the period of thirty (30) days after the Installation Engagement of the first intersection approach. (Emphasis added.) See Defect # 6.

2013 Possible Contract Extension

On Sept. 25, 2012 the Metropolis Council Public Safety Committee ("PSC") held a written report session to decide whether to recommend to the full Council to extend the camera program for some other three years. They received a 17-page report which recommended that the City pay a reduced rent (down from $5855) of $4625 per calendar month for the thirteen existing cameras, for 3 more years.
At the $4625 price the City would pay $760,500 also much over the iii years (when compared with a $3000 target price). See FAQ # 17.
After a more forty infinitesimal discussion (the video is available at the Oakland Metropolis website) the Committee asked for more information and for the matter to exist brought back to the Committee on Oct. nine.

The report prepared for the Oct. 9, 2012 meeting contained a table of accidents 2008 - 2012 showing increases at some intersections. The Commission took no action, and put off the thing until Feb. 2013.

In February 2013 the matter was non on whatsoever of the agendas, and equally of Jan. 2014 it still had non been agendized. If y'all hear nigh a tentative date, keep in mind that the appointment and/or fourth dimension may modify; and so before driving to the coming together, check with the Urban center, at (510) 238-3226 or 238-3266.

It's Over

In early on June 2014 nosotros found out that the cameras had been shut off on May xx.
A June 13 commodity said that the police want to revive the program. The article quoted the police force chief'due south official explanation for the May 20 shut off - that a spending cap had been reached.

We hope that the city council will continue to refuse to allocate more money to exist spent on this abuse of the public.

We also promise that the City'due south traffic engineers take this opportunity to provide longer yellows, as they did for a few months start in Dec. 2009. See "Ups and Downs" in Set # 1, above.
