4-12-09 Total Violations Sent to Police for
Approval, Tickets Approved [4]
This table
made by highwayrobbery.net, using official documents
obtained under the
California Public Records Act.
[ ] 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] 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 the city calls Incidents Sent for Police Approval, or incidents forwarded by the camera company to the police for approval, 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 the city calls Approved Incidents, 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] Data has not been requested. [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] 2004 data covers seven months at beginning of program. This

tabulations of citations
actually issued.
Whittier Docs Set # 2 In 2003 Whittier signed a contract
with Transol, which in 2005 was taken over by Nestor. On
May 20, 2009
the City signed a new
contract
with Nestor providing: "There are no up-front costs to you [the City] for any of our [Nestor's] services. All of our programs are intended to be entirely violator funded. You will incur direct costs only if you terminate this contract without cause before we have recouped our installation costs." This clause, by limiting Nestor's pay
to not
more than the amount of fines paid to the City by
violators (in other
words, 100% of fines), may violate the CVC 21455.5(g)
(as of 2013, 21455.5(h)) prohibition of
"percentage" contracts. See Defect # 10 - B.
The term of the May 2009 contract was
18
months, and in Nov. 2010 the City allowed the contract
to expire,
without renewal. City of Whittier Docs Set # 3 More Coming There may be some more Whittier information posted in the next few weeks. Mark your calendar to remind you to come back here and look! --------------------------------- RED LIGHT CAMERAS www.highwayrobbery.net www.highwayrobbery.net |
