Today we talked on air with attorney Stephen DeNittis who is representing drivers in class action lawsuits against towns that never bothered properly certifying their red light cameras.

The battle over lawsuits involving red light cameras wages on. South Jersey towns claim their amber lights have been timed correctly all along. A lawyer handling a major class action suit disagrees.

Last week Jim discussed at great length the video released from American Traffic Solutions. The footage from an intersection in Roselle Park, shows a driver running a traffic light which a red light camera caught on tape. Today, Jim spoke with the Vice President and Spokesperson of ATS, Charles Territo.

Here is a video collection of some severe accidents caught on tape by red light cameras in NJ. Would active red light cameras in these intersections have prevented the accidents?

Ever wonder what the evolution of red light cameras in NJ looked like? We put together a small timeline of the life of a red light camera in NJ.

Last month, Governor Chris Christie's Administration announced the suspension of the Red Light Running Automated Enforcement Program (RLR) until most of the towns in the pilot program can certify that the timing on the yellow light signal conforms to the prescribed statute.

Motorists in 19 Jersey towns where red light cameras have been operational are waiting to see if the municipalities will re-certify the timing of yellow lights by the end of the month.

New Jersey drivers who have received red-light camera tickets and either paid the fine or have been to court, can breathe a sigh of relief, for now.
