Opinion: Rex Richardson and Matt Mahan: Pass Assembly Bill 645 to pilot lifesaving speed safety cameras
That’s why we need to take immediate steps to reduce speeding and save lives. The first step is to implement speed safety cameras in California. Assembly Bill 645, introduced by Assemblymember Laura Friedman, creates a pilot program that will launch these cameras in six cities: Long Beach, San Jose, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland and Glendale.
These cameras are not unproven technology. They have been implemented successfully in over 150 communities across the country, including major cities like Washington, D.C. and New York. According to studies, these cameras can reduce crashes on city streets by 54%. Under this bill, these cameras will initially be placed in school zones, on the most dangerous intersections, and in areas with a history of sideshow activity. Specific streets in each city will be selected using data and in direct collaboration with the community.
We understand that some opponents have privacy concerns regarding these cameras. However, an amendment adopted at the latest hearing of the bill clarified that these cameras only capture images of license plates, not video footage or photos of the driver. These pictures are only retained for five days if no violation is issued, and 60 days if a speeding violation is detected.
This legislation only hurts people who are putting others’ lives at risk. No one will be burdened by this if they abide by our traffic lives.
