"National Campaign To Stop Red Light Running" Is A Sham Organization
January 10th, 2008 Posted in Red-Light CamerasIt’s like they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
This is from the current front page of their website advertising a “Focus On Safety” Symposium in Florida back in October:
Take a closer look at the three “hosts”: ACS, Redflex, and Nestor Traffic Systems.
Those are three of the biggest red-light ticket camera corporations in the country.
The National Campaign to Stop Red Light Running positions itself as a public safety organization when in fact it’s funded by ticket camera corporations and run by a public relations firm in their employ.
This is an organization that has spearheaded the push for red-light cameras across the country. This is an organization that stands side-by-side with legislators at their press conferences. This is an organization that is frequently quoted as an unbiased source by the media.
It’s clear to anyone who digs a little deeper that The National Campaign to Stop Red Light Running is a sham organization that functions as a lobbying arm for the ticket camera industry.
Spread the word.

Florida has brochures combining the “stop red light running” and “Let’s Eliminate Aggressive Driving (LEAD) materials. I agree on the need for both, as Florida’s roads are horrendous and drivers are rude. But when I typed in the website listed in the brochure (www.taketheleadflorida.com) there was nothing there but sponsored links to businesses. Now, this brochure was funded by: FDOT, the Highway Safety & Education Foundation and the “Natl. Campaign”. If you look for the other group (Highway Safety) they don’t really exist either. Apparently all these organizations were funded by a provision of the Highway Bill, and exist for the benefit of no one but whoever is at the helm, collecting a paycheck, FROM US, the taxpayers!
