Murrieta Documents

Some of Murrieta'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.

A Murrieta resident is doing an initiative to ban the cameras.  See Set # 5, below.

This table made by highwayrobbery.net, using official reports provided by the City under the California Public Records Act.

Official Reports, 2006
Official Reports, 2006 - 2010
Official Reports, 2011

The Murrieta cameras are operated by ATS, using Nestor software.

[  ] 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]  Except where noted otherwise, the figures given in the table are for the single calendar month indicated.  The 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 Nestor calls Violations Recorded, 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 Nestor calls Citations Issued, and may be 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).
Any figures in blue type (and in parentheses) are what Nestor calls Affidavits Approved, which is believed to be
 the number of real tickets and any Nominations (Snitch Tickets) where the initial recipient provided the identity of another driver.  More data about affidavits is available on the official reports, linked above.
[5]  Data for this month was requested on ...
[6]  The info about the direction of enforcement (north, south, east, west, and right or left) was provided by the City.
[7]  The title bar has been repeated solely for the convenience of the reader - there is no difference between it and the one at the top of the table.




Murrieta Docs Set # 2
"Late Time" Tables

  The City provided tables of Late Times, etcetera, for all  of its cameras.
These tables track violations recorded, and in parenteses, tickets issued.
Where there is a large number of long Late Time violations, it is believed to indicate heavy ticketing on right turns.

First Six Months of Operation, 2006
Januarys and Julys, 2006 - 2010
Nov. 2010

Sample:  Time after red, in Murrieta
The picture above is an example of a portion of the table.

  Late Time info is available for more than 50 other cities - see the list in the expanded version of Defect # 9.




Murrieta Docs Set # 3
The Contract, Etc.

2005 Contract

The 2005 contract includes an illegal "cost neutrality" clause, whereby the city will not have to pay ATS the full rent if there aren't enough fines to cover the cost.  For more info, see Subsection B of the expanded version of Defect # 10.

This list of contracts and amendments may not be up-to-date - there could be a contract or amendment later than the ones listed above.




Murrieta Docs Set # 4
Info on the City's Website

The City does not have a red light camera info page on its website.




Murrieta Docs Set # 5
Initiative to Ban the Cams! - Vote Nov. 2012

The City's contract with ATS was due to expire, so at the city council meeting of Jan. 18, 2011 the city council extended the contract for three more years and added two more cameras, to be located at freeway offramps (probably to catch rolling right turns). 

In response to the planned expansion of the program, Murrieta residents started an initiative drive, to put a red light camera ban on the ballot.  The residents obtained enough signatures, so the ban will be on the Nov. 2012 ballot.  For more info, go to http://www.banthecamsmurrieta.com .



Murrieta Docs Set # 6
More Coming

There may be some more Murrieta information posted in the next few weeks.  Mark your calendar to remind you to come back here and look!
