City of Paramount Documents (Program Closed)
(and Information)

Paramount, pop. 55,000, is 7 miles south of downtown Los Angeles.

Some of Paramount's tickets can be ignored.  If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name and address on it, it is what I call a "Fake Ticket."  For more details, see the Fake Ticket section on the Your Ticket page, and Set # 1, below.

The program ended in Aug. 2006.

Be sure to read the "Countywide Information," which is Docs Set # 2 on the LA County Documents page.

This table made by highwayrobbery.net, using official documents requested under the Public Records Act..
[  ] 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 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]  Data has been requested but has not yet been received.
[6]  The camera enforcement is on traffic on the first-named street, but the direction of enforcement (north, south, east, west, thru, left) is not yet available.
[7]  Totals shown cover Sept. 1, 2004 to Oct. 17, 2005.




Paramount Docs Set # 2
The Contract, Etc.

2004 Contract

The contract includes an illegal "cost neutrality" clause, whereby the city will not have to pay RedFlex the full rent if there aren't enough fines to cover the cost. See Subsection B. of Defect # 10.

The contract also says:

Definitions. "Warning Period" means the period of thirty (30) days after the Installation Date.  "Installation Date" means the date on which RedFlex completes the construction and installation of at least one (1) Intersection Approach....
  See Defect # 6.



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.





Paramount Docs Set # 3
More Coming


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