IL SR0314

Urges all municipalities operating red light cameras to remove them immediately, citing constitutional due process violations found by courts in Ohio and Minnesota.

Calls for investigations by the SEC, Illinois Attorney General, U.S. Attorney for Northern District of Illinois, and state attorneys in Cook, Lake, Kane, St. Clair, Madison, and McHenry counties into Redflex Traffic Systems Inc.'s misconduct.

References a Chicago investigation finding that Redflex paid $2.03 million in potential bribes to city officials, with the company's president having knowledge of the arrangement.

Requests that all red light camera citations issued in Chicago, collar counties, Madison, and St. Clair counties be voided and fines refunded to citizens due to criminal activity in the program.

Notes that red light cameras generated over $300 million in revenue for Chicago since 2003 and over $100 million for Redflex under its contract with the city.
