Belmont Documents
Some of Belmont's tickets can possibly be ignored. If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name and address on it, it is what I call a "Snitch Ticket." For more details, see the Snitch Ticket section on the Your Ticket page.

This table made by highwayrobbery.net, using official reports provided by the City under the California Public Records Act.
Official
Reports,
May - Aug. 2010
Official
Reports, Oct. 2010 - Oct. 2012
[ ] indicates a
footnote.
[1] Totals are as provided by the City.
[2] YTD = Year-to-date total.
[3] Un-used columns are to allow for later
expansion of City's system.
[4] Any figures in red type (or, if you are
looking at this table in black and white, the upper figure
when there are two or more figures in a cell) are what
RedFlex calls Total Violations, or all incidents recorded
by the cameras, and due to time limitations may have been
posted here only for selected months or locations.
If there is sufficient public interest, the remaining
months will be posted. The figures in black
type are what RedFlex calls Notices Printed, and represent
the sum of genuine citations issued (those filed with the
court) plus any Nominations mailed (not filed with
the court, a.k.a. Snitch Tickets).
[5] Monthly data was requested on:.
[6] The camera enforcement is believed to be
on traffic on the first-named street, but the direction
of enforcement (north, south, east, west, thru, left,
right) is not yet available.
[7] Includes enforcement of posted "no turn
on red" signs.
[8] The
report for this month was generated a few days before the
end of the month, so was not complete.
[9] Citywide
totals
for these months are by highwayrobbery.net.
[10] Annual totals, or annual projections
based upon monthly data shown in table above, are by
highwayrobbery.net.

"Late Time"
Graphs
The City provided bar graphs of Late
Times, etcetera, for both of its cameras.
These graphs track violations recorded, not tickets
issued.
Where there is a large number of long Late Time
violations in a curb lane, it is believed to indicate
heavy ticketing on right turns.
(The curb lane will be the lane with the highest lane
number.)
The picture above is an example from another
city.
July
2010
July2012
Bar graphs are available for more than
fifty other cities - see the list in the expanded
version of Defect # 9.

The Contract
(Expires May 2013) - and Snitch Tickets
The City is paying way too much. See
FAQ # 17.
Snitch Tickets
A document received from the City revealed that in Dec. 2012, 165 motorists were sent a Notice to Appear (a real ticket), and 79 motorists were sent a fake ticket (Snitch Ticket).
This list of contracts and amendments was
up-to-date as of Oct. 29, 2012.

Info on BPD
Site
There is a little info on the BPD's
website at http://www.belmont.gov .
Encroachment Permits
Some of the City's cameras are located on CalTrans right-of-ways, so are operated under an encroachment permit obtained from CalTrans. HighwayRobbery.net obtained these documents from CalTrans, via a public records request.
Permit Application, 2008
Justification Correspondence (Traffic Report), 2009
Issued Permit, 2009
Some other cities operate cameras under encroachment permits. For more information about those cities and about CalTrans' criteria for the issuance of an encroachment permit, see the CalTrans section on the Links page.
