May 23 Surveillance CamerasHobart offered cameras to monitor high-traffic intersectionsHOBART - Drivers in the habit of running red lights, beware. A surveillance camera could be coming to an intersection near you.Hobart officials are reviewing an offer from Safe Speed, a Chicago company that wants to mount cameras at high-traffic intersections to videotape moving violations that could cost motorists $100 in fines. The city will not have to pay for the cameras as Safe Speed would get part of the fines collected under a four-year contract it hopes to sign with the city, said Charles Freda, Safe Speed's managing operations director. The service is intended to aid traffic enforcement, Freda said, not monitor motorists. "This isn't Big Brother. This is a public safety issue," Freda told the mayor and the Hobart City Council. About five motorists a day are caught running red lights, he said. Chicago and other cities across the nation have successfully used photographic equipment to enforce traffic laws and generate millions of dollars in new revenue.
