Sample WeHo Ticket

During a visit to the courthouse, I talked to a lot of defendants and many of them showed me their tickets.
The first thing I noticed was that you can't read the numbers on the tickets that WeHo mails to defendants. The very critical tenths digit is a smaller font size, so no one could tell for sure how late they were after the red, or how long the yellow was. The tenths digits were not legible on any ticket I saw - and we looked at them in good sunlight, with as many as two pairs of reading glasses at once! A sample ticket posted by the West Hollywood sheriff illustrates the illegibility very well.

Trial Transcript

I attended the June 19, 2003 trial session for West Hollywood tickets, and purchased a copy of the official tape of that session ($10.00).
The first part of the tape has now been transcribed, and is available here: WeHo Trial Transcript .
It is a good way to find out how an actual trial goes.

WeHo's Business Rules (Guidelines?)

Vehicle Code Section 21455.5 requires that a city shall develop "uniform guidelines for screening and issuing violations." We have obtained a copy of WeHo's "Business Rules for the Red Light Camera System," which appears to that sort of document. However, 21455.5(d) says that the development of the guidelines may not be contracted out to the supplier of the cameras, and the language of WeHo's Business Rules is full of indications that it was written by the supplier. (See Defect # 10.)
