“Don’t Block the Box” Traffic Cameras (H 7748, S 2770)

We opposed this legislation which would expand the allowable use for traffic violation detection systems for violations of a state law against the blocking of street intersections.

Traffic violation systems by nature cannot cure any problems with a driver in the moment, and they also create an unofficial record of the whereabouts of drivers and store data on vehicle location for indeterminate amounts of time. For these reasons, we opposed this legislation which would expand the allowable use for traffic violation detection systems for violations of a state law against the blocking of street intersections.
