A law banning the cameras may be easier to pass now that the reputation of Redflex, a major player in the traffic-camera industry, has been besmirched by recent corruption allegations, most notably in Chicago. Redflex operates the traffic cameras in Dayton, Hamilton, Trotwood, West Carrollton, Middletown and Springfield, according to Borchardt.

Should use of the cameras be a local decision? Have you received a citation because of a camera? Send me an email at mwilliams@coxohio.com and let me know what you think.
