Violations
Recorded, Citations
Issued, (Affidavits
Approved) [4] New 9-22-04, updated 2-16-12
This table made by highwayrobbery.net, using official monthly tabulations of citations actually issued. Official tabulations, 2009 Official tabulations, 2010 Official tabulations, 2011 [ ] 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 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 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). Any figures in blue type (and in parentheses) are what Nestor calls Affidavits Approved, which is believed to represent the number of real tickets and any Nominations (Snitch Tickets) where the initial recipient provided the identity of another driver. [5]
Intersection by

In
Nov.
2008
a
Fullerton
defendant
got
an
appellate
court decision
saying that
the City's cost-neutral contract violated Section
21455.5(g) (as of 2013, 21455.5(h)) and that
the trial court erred in admitting evidence from the
camera.
San Juan Capistrano's contract is also cost-neutral. 2007 Contract 2009 Amendment 2009 Assumption Agreement On Jan. 4, 2011 the city council discussed the red light cameras, and informally agreed to end the program when the contract expires in Sept. 2012. They discussed it again in late Mar. 2012. See these articles: The Dispatch, Jan. 2011: Considering Pulling the Plug The Dispatch, Jan. 2011: Pulling the Plug? The Newspaper, 4-2-12: Some Cities Unsatisfied The Dispatch, 4-3-12: Driver Blames Banner for Ticket OC Register, 4-6-12: Blames $533 Ticket on Street Banner 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.
