Lancaster Documents (Program Closed)

It may be possible to completely ignore a Lancaster 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 tickets to the DMV.  More info is in "Countywide Information," which is Docs Set # 2 on the LA County Documents page.

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

Official reports, 2006 - 2010

[  ] 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 was requested on:
[6]  The camera enforcement is believed to be on traffic on the first-named street, but the direction of enforcement (north, south, east, west, thru, left, right) is not yet available.
[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.



Lancaster Docs Set # 2
"Late Time" Graphs

The City has been asked for bar graphs of Late Times, etcetera, for all of its cameras.
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.)

Grand Terrace late times bar chart
The picture above is an example from another city.

Lancaster has refused to provide bar graphs.

Bar graphs are available for more than fifty other cities - see the
list in the expanded version of Defect # 9.




Lancaster Docs Set # 3
The Contract, Etc. (Program Closed)

The city council approved Lancaster's contract with RedFlex in July 2006.

The contract includes an illegal "cost neutrality" clause, whereby the city will not have to pay RedFlex the full rent if there aren't enough fines to cover the cost.  See Subsection B. of Defect # 10.

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.




Lancaster Docs Set # 4
Info on City Website

There is red light camera program info at the sheriff department's website.
If the link has ceased to work, drill down:
cityoflancasterca.org > Departments & Services > Public Safety > Emergency Contract Services > Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. > Red Light Cameras




Lancaster Docs Set # 5
More Coming

There may be some more Lancaster information posted in the next few weeks.  Mark your calendar to remind you to come back here and look!
