Legislature Passes Traffic Camera Bill, Veto Uncertain

Both the Ohio House and Senate have passed HB 56, the red light camera bill.  The bill outlaws speed cameras unless an officer is present, or unless it is located in a school zone.  The bill also requires the police prove the identity of the driver, without resort to the camera pictures.  Governor Taft is undecided as to whether to veto.  New Law Puts City's Traffic Cameras in Jeopardy by Joseph L.
