Report Copyright Violation | Heath, Ohio makes $830,000/mo in traffic citations. HEATH, Ohio -- City officials say they were shocked by the number of violations recorded during the first month of traffic-camera enforcement and decided to make it cheaper to protest multiple tickets. More than 10,000 violations had been recorded by Heath traffic cameras through Tuesday. At $100 apiece, that would net the city a little more than $830,000 after paying the vendor, Redflex, its share. [ link to dispatch.com] 10,000 x $100 = $1,000,000 $1,000,000 - $830,000 = $170,000 $170,000 / 10,000 = $17 per citation that Redflex, a private company, makes from operating the cameras.

Punted from GLP for the last time by unresponsive mods. Have gone to greener pastures where there is more professionalism. |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: Heath, Ohio makes $830,000/mo in traffic citations. And you could get5 or 6 tickets before the ticket arrives in the mail. Then you get your license suspended for being a habitual offender before you even know what hit you. |
