Proposed Legislation for Red Light Runners

Drivers beware, or at least be cautious because big brother is watching. There is a new proposed legislation in Florida that will allow state officials to issue tickets to red light runners. The proposed legislation is currently on the table in Tallahassee, Florida. Cameras will be mounted on main intersections and streets such as North Monroe and Tennessee Street. The proposed legislation will generate hundreds of thousands of dollars for the city, but many Tallahassee residents are more concerned with where the money will go. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Ron Reagan and R-Bradendton.
