Illinois State Rep. La Shawn Ford is calling for an investigation into Chicago traffic light cameras because they are apparently racist

by

(The Center Square) – Illinois State Rep. La Shawn Ford is again calling for change after new data shows more than 2.5 times as many red-light camera tickets were issued on Chicago’s South Side over a yearlong period than at intersections where cameras are installed on the city’s North Side.

Data analyzed by the Illinois Policy Institute of the 614,498 tickets that were issued across the city—accounting for $61.4 million in fines through September—show red-light cameras on the South Side issued an average of 9,132 tickets, or 5,521 more than each North Side camera.
