HOUSTON, TX – Houston’s new red-light cameras nabbed more than 100 government and school vehicles since the enforcement program began last fall, resulting in about $8,000 in fines, police records show, according to the Houston Chronicle. Metro and school buses, police cruisers, and public works trucks were among the vehicles caught running red lights, according to data released under the Texas Public Information Act.
The citations represent a tiny fraction of the 34,000 violators cited since September, but they are unwelcome to the agencies involved and have resulted in disciplinary action against some drivers. At least one agency suspended employees who got citations, and at least two made employees pay for the fines.
