We don't have them here, yet. The city council tried once, but it was an election year, and they voted it down because they wanted votes.

But they could definitely make a fortune if they had them here. Saw a guy today driving his brand new Caddy CTS right through two red lights in a row. Wasn't even close to "just changed" either. The first one had been red for almost 5 full seconds when he drove through it. Good thing he didn't hit anyone.

As for your question, it would be a guess on my part. But I would think you would have to wait until at least monday because of the Easter weekend.

Good luck though.

Do worry ... they never sleep. If they got a good look at your Plate ... the Mailman will be bringing you your greeting from the City in a week or 10-Days.

I am so glad they put them up around here. We have so many red light runners around here it makes me sick.I myself have been hit but that was a stop sign runner (Just as bad imo).

i know in germany they had up to 60days for it to hit your house and belive me it never took them that long to get them to ya. I know all to well LOL
we had one right at the bottom of the hill we had to come down off the mountian at and i would hit it damed near everytime i came that way. the last time i blew threw that area at over 100Klm. but the camera was also right at the mouth of the entrance to the autobhan.
so they made good money off of that one lol U.S.Troops i think paid for most of them in town lol
