KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- City leaders held a public hearing Tuesday night to discuss using cameras to catch people who run red lights.
The cameras would be placed in intersections to take pictures of license plates. Police would verify the photographs and a ticket would be sent in the mail.
Some drivers are worried the wrong people will be ticketed. Others said they hope the cameras cut down on dangerous driving.
If approved, Kansas City would be one of four cities in the state using the red-light cameras.
Another public meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday at Line Creek Community Center, located at 5940 N.W. Waukomis Drive in Kansas City.Survey: Should KC Use Red-Light Cameras?
