Police Speed Trap and Red Light Camera Locations Have Nowhere to Hide

Local government and municipalities' revenue is on the decrease; Red Light
Cameras and Speed Traps are growing exponentially to fill in the gaps. Website
shows where and when they hide. Download to your GPS.

PORTLAND, Ore., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Njection.com (http://njection.com)
has added several new features allowing visitors to view where Red Light
Cameras, Speed Detection Cameras and Speed Traps are located anywhere in the
world. Njection.com uses Microsoft Virtual Earth Map Controls to display the
location of Speed Traps and Red Light Cameras worldwide. Users with an
Internet connection can view, contribute and rate where these speed traps are
located. In addition, a heat map can be displayed showing what time of day
those areas are monitored and will display them visually on the map when those
areas are monitored. The map displays a color-coded system for better
readability. You can download them to your mobile GPS system to alert you to
approaching monitored areas. In addition, for a limited time, everyone who
registers on the site is eligible for a free 1-year subscription (12 issues)
to Motor Trend compliments of Njection.com. Quantities are limited.
In Caney, OK, as reported by KJRH, an investigation uncovered in a
2004/2005 state audit the town's operating budget was $310,000, almost
$200,000 of that coming from speeding tickets.
Tickets in Aventura, FL can be as much as $500 attached to the vehicle
that was involved committing the offence, not the driver of the vehicle. There
are no points assessed nor is it reported to the insurance company.
"In the name of safety Red Light Cameras are being installed everywhere,"
says Shannon Atkinson, President of Njection.com. "But no one knows who these
drivers are to get them off the road. In addition, most of the revenue
generated from these programs ends up in the general fund of the city, not the
roadway safety programs." In most instances, the same company that does the
initial investigation on the placement of Red Light Cameras is the same one
who installs and monitors them.
A study by the Missouri Department of Transportation shows that although
exceeding the speed limit is a contributing factor in accidents, it is far
less a factor than inattention due to congestion ahead, failure to yield the
right of way, following too closely, or improper lane changes.

"I think the main goal is to let people know where the problem areas are
to prevent from being a victim of an accident whether it's from side impact,
rear-ending, or someone else's careless driving. It's better to be proactive
than reactive when driving," Shannon added.
