If you roll through a stop sign, you could get a $60 ticket in the mail. Is it a money grab or a safety policy? A Long Island village has already installed stop sign cameras -- and other municipalities want to do the same. McLoganTV reports.
Is it a money grab or a safety policy?
"They are speeding. They are not stopping and they don't give a damn, and when you hold their feet to the fire the answer is, 'Well, I'm not sure you are allowed to enforce it?'" Saddle Rock Mayor Dan Levy said."I think it should have gone through the state Legislature first. I don't think it's technically legal," one said."They should stop all this nonsense because it's all about money, nothing else but money," another added.
"The police are strapped. They have higher priorities than stop signs and speeding in villages. So, if this works out, it's a way to make the streets safer," Roslyn Estates Mayor Paul Leone Peters said. State Sen. Jack Martins, a Republican representing Mineola, is now working on stop sign trial legislation. Supporters say it's not a money grab, it's about safety, and should be collaborative.
