  <title>How do Photo Enforcement Cameras work?</title> 
  <description>Red Light and Speed Cameras: Each intersection or location is outfitted with a high-resolution high-speed digital camera. The cameras are activated by sensors which are located at the intersection. The cameras are activated when a vehicle is detected by the sensors after the light has turned red or speeds greater than posted. The camera takes two digital photos which document the violation. The program operates 24 hours a day seven days a week and operates in all weather conditions. The system is only activated when a vehicle runs a red light. All intersections with red light cameras are clearly marked. The Issueing Police Department reviews every violation before the citation is issued. Citations contain an image of a violating vehicle before it enters the intersection, while it is in the intersection, and the license plate of the vehicle.&lt;br&gt; Fixed Speed: The detection system is comprised of two Piezoelectric strips and an induction loop which have been installed under the pavement at each enforced lane. When a vehicle drives over these detection devices above the pre-set threshold speed, the systems computer signals the cameras to record the violation. A video clip also records the vehicle as it passes the cameras.&lt;br&gt; Speed Vans: Speed Vans are deployed to enforce speed limits in school zones. Each speed van is staffed by a Local Police Officer who is visually observing each violation. The van is equipped with a certified and accurate RADAR unit that measures vehicle speeds as traffic passes the van. If a vehicle exceeds the enforcement speed, the RADAR unit signals the cameras to take a photograph of the violating vehicle as it passes the van. This image documents the vehicle (and license plate of the violating vehicle) which the Issueing Police Officer observed. The image also includes the date, time, speed, and location of the violation. Each violation is reviewed by a second officer before a citation is issued.</description>

  </item>

<item>
  <title>If I am already in the intersection when a light turns red, will I get a citation?</title> 
  <description>No. Citations are only issued when a vehicle enters the intersection AFTER the light has turned red. If you enter the intersection on a green or yellow light you will not be photographed by the camera system.</description> 
  </item>

<item>
  <title>How can I dispute this citation?</title> 
  <description>REBUTTAL OF LIABILITY: If, at the time and place of the violation, the motor vehicle shown was being operated by a person other than the Owner, and if the Owner is a natural person, the Owner may transfer liability for the violation to the person who was operating the motor vehicle at that time and place, if the owner submits to the issueing Department a sworn, signed and notarized affidavit on the form found on the bottom of the back of the citation &lt;br&gt; (a) The name and current address of the person operating the vehicle at the time and place of the violation; &lt;br&gt; (b) Relationship of the owner to the driver &lt;br&gt; (c) Who was the subsequent owner of the motor vehicle, if ownership of the vehicle was transferred by the owner before the time of the violation.</description>
