2015:  Program Has Been Terminated - See Set # 3, Below

Stockton, pop. 234,000,  is 50 miles east of San Francisco.

Some of Stockton's tickets can possibly be ignored.  If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name and address on it, it is what I call a "Snitch Ticket."  For more details, see the Snitch Ticket section on the Your Ticket page.

Do you live in the South end of Alameda County or the North end of Santa Clara County - State Sen. Ellen Corbett's former District?

In late 2014 Sen. Corbett termed out, and was replaced by this person

  R. A. Wieckowski, Author of the anti-motorist bill AB 666
 
who will be running for re-election in 2018 and 2022.

Please don't vote for him.

[  ]  Indicates a footnote.
[1]  Totals are as provided by the City.
[2]  ---
[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. 
Figures in red type and not enclosed in parentheses (or, if you are looking at this table in black and white, the upper figure when there are two or more rows of figures in a cell) are what RedFlex calls Total Processed Incidents or Total Violations, and represent Total Detections (all incidents flashed by the camera) minus Nonprosecutable incidents.
Any figures in (red) type enclosed in parentheses are Total Detections. and come from the official report entitled RTS Management Report (example) which, beginning in 2013, highwayrobbery.net will be requesting from all cities. 
   The figures in black type are what the city 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).
Due to time limitations, complete figures have been posted only for selected months or cameras.  If there is sufficient public interest, the remaining months or cameras will be posted.
[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]  Monthly intersection-by-intersection data has been received but has not yet been fully posted on this table, due to time constraints.  It is available at the links, above.
[9]  Monthly data has not been requested.
[10]  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.
[11]  The report for this month was generated less than ten days after the end of the month, so may not reflect the full number of tickets issued.
[12]  These annual totals, or annual projections based upon monthly data shown in table above, are by highwayrobbery.net.

"Late Time" Graphs

The City provided 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.)


The picture above is an example from another city.

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

The Contract, Cost Neutrality, Termination

2009 Contract

The 2009 contract includes a cost neutrality adjustment, so in those months when the City's fine revenue is low, it pays less rent to RedFlex.

Cost Neutral Payment Spreadsheet and Invoices as of Mar. 2013

In late June 2012 the City filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy Article

Cost Neutral Payment Spreadsheet and Invoices as of Jan. 2014

Spreadsheet as of Apr. 2014

Oh Joy:  $$$     Oh Rats!

Invoices and Spreadsheets received here in Feb. 2015 showed that for May 2014 the City received a quarter million Dollar red light camera fine payment from the court, more than four times the typical monthly revenue - but under contract terms had to give all but $10,000 of it to RedFlex.

2015:  Program Closed

On Jan. 26, 2015 the City notified RedFlex that it wished to terminate the program, immediately.  On Jan. 29 RedFlex wrote back, proposing a suspension of the program until Aug. 2015.  As of Feb. 23 the City had not agreed to RedFlex' proposal.

It doesn't seem likely anymore (see below), but if the City decides to re-start the camera program, it should first renegotiate the monthly rent.  From 2009 to 2014 the City was obligated to pay RedFlex up to $49,400 per month, equal to $3800 per camera.

An example of a much lower rent:  In March 2014 the nearby City of Elk Grove approved a new contract which specified the following rents for its five RedFlex cameras.
