A New Jersey state senator condemned New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for signing legislation to expand the use of red-light cameras.
State Sen. Declan O’Scanlon also renewed his call for New Jersey lawmakers to pass his bipartisan bill to protect New Jersey drivers from predatory, out-of-state automated traffic fines.
“New York is flat-out fleecing their own residents with their shameful expansion of red-light cameras,” O’Scanlon, R-Monmouth, said in an announcement. “It is nothing short of a blatant money grab.
“New Jersey legislators came together years ago to ban the use of these cameras within our borders because we proved, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that they don’t work,” O’Scanlon added. “It’s time we take the next step to protect our residents from out-of-state exploitation and firmly shut the door on corrupt companies, and their government co-conspirators, that feed off government-sanctioned theft.”
