Rich Boggiano is an idiot with this suggestion being a privacy issue - Every camera at every store or business that points in the public arena would also be an issue, as would atm cameras, police dash cams an so on. Siht with all the street cameras NYC / NYPD has Rich would be too scared to venture there.

I bet either he, a family or friend has been caught out by these cameras and is pissed he or they got caught and fined.

Lets google his home address and look into his backyard - That will get him going with privacy issues.

Rich, you must of been a dumb ass cop with no idea on community or public safety issues.

Jersey City councilman wants to pull the plug on red-light cameras

A measure calling for removal of all of Jersey City?s red-light cameras is up for adoption at tomorrow?s City Council meeting, but its sponsor isn?t hopeful the council will support it.

Rich Boggiano, a retired police detective who represents Ward C on the nine-member body, said the controversial red-light cameras, which have been installed at about a dozen locations and bring in about $2.7 million in revenue annually, are an invasion of privacy.

?If you want to have traffic enforcement, bring back the cops, bring back police,? Boggiano told The Jersey Journal.

The measure received nearly unanimous support for its introduction at the last council meeting, but it seems likely to fail tomorrow night. A majority of the council?s nine members are supporters of Mayor Steve Fulop, and the city?s administration is counting on the revenue it receives from the red-light cameras.

City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill declined to say whether Fulop supports or opposes Boggiano?s measure.

There are red-light cameras at 73 New Jersey intersections in 24 municipalities. In February, Brick became the first New Jersey municipality to get rid of the cameras, with its mayor saying he wasn?t convinced they increased safety in the Shore community.
