Baldwin Park Documents

It may be possible to completely ignore a Baldwin Park ticket.
1.  If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name and address on it, it is a fake ticket, which I call a "Snitch Ticket."  For more details about Snitch Tickets, see the Snitch Ticket section at the top of the Your Ticket page.
2.  The LA County Superior Court does not report ignored red light camera tickets to the DMV.  More info is in "Countywide Information," which is Docs Set # 2 on the LA County Documents page.

Ticket Counts

Total Violations (in red type), Notices Printed [4]

New 2-11-12, updated 1-16-13

This table made by highwayrobbery.net, using official reports provided by the City under the California Public Records Act.

Official reports, 2006 - 2011
Official reports, 2006 - 2012
Official reports, 2008 - 2012
Official reports, Fall 2012
Official reports, Winter 2012

[  ] 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]  Except where noted otherwise, the figures given in the table are for the single calendar month indicated.  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 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 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]  Monthly data has not been requested.
[6]  The information about street names and direction of enforcement is from the 2011 contract - see link, below.
[7]  Includes enforcement of posted "no turn on red" signs.
[8]  The title bar has been repeated solely for the convenience of the reader - there is no difference between it and the one at the top of the table.
[9]  Official data has been received, is available at the links above, but due to time constraints has not yet been fully posted to the table.
[10]   The report for this month was generated a few days before the end of the month, so it is likely that not all tickets (for violations which occurred during the month) had been approved and counted by that time.

"Late Time" Graphs

The City provided bar graphs of Late Times, etcetera.
These graphs track violations recorded, not tickets issued.
Where there is a large number of long Late Time violations in a curb lane, it is believed to indicate heavy ticketing on right turns.
(The curb lane will be the lane with the highest lane number.)


The picture above is an example from another city.

The Contract, Etc.

2006 Contract

The city council approved Baldwin Park's contract with RedFlex in 2006.  It included a "cost neutrality" clause (see Defect # 10 - B).
It also said:  Definitions.  "Warning Period" means the period of thirty (30) days after the Installation Date of the first intersection approach.  (Emphasis added.)  See Defect # 6.

2011 Contract Extension

In 2011 the city council approved a four-year extension of the contract.  It is unclear whether the cost neutrality was retained.
In the contract extension, RedFlex agreed to give a one-time $350,000 credit to the City, towards unpaid past rent, and a credit of $75,000 each year during the renewal period, resulting in a cost per camera of $2659 per month.

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.
