Washington D.C. offers its local take and statistics on the redlight/speed cameras in the area. Nice statistical figures on money brought in, tickets distributed and good interviews with police officers, and public officials. One of the more well rounded stories found on the topic.

Another great story on the nature of speed cameras in Baltimore. Affiliated Computer Services, the company who manufactures all of the traffic cameras in the area, is attempting to reach members of the county council in a PR campaign. I would say this is relevant to all residents, who should know that this type of pressure is often put on decision makers.

Both sides of the story are well-reported here, and placed in context. The story is supported with some stats, and a breakdown of the costs and profits is informative.
Even though the accidents are occurring at the same rate, I wonder if they are less severe, if people are driving slower. That would be useful information.

What people in these communities need to see is real results. How the cameras are making streets safer. Are the cameras resulting in less red light accidents?, has the average speed gone down?, etc.

Michael Huber Comment:
This article gets straight to the point. Where is the money going, and how much are the cameras impacting safety. We all understand the purpose but is the abuse of our money worth it?

I have to credit Patch and their local members for cracking the story before the Sun or other major publications. Its nice to know that there is a large concern with large public topics like this. Hopefully the public’s opinion is being heard!

Towson Patch was on the forefront of this story, hit it two days before the Baltimore Sun. News source not quite as credible. Still a nice story, with good sources and in depth interviews.

This is excellent journalism in my opinion. I-team investigator Jayne Miller is a very credible reporter, who has broken many large stories in Baltimore over the last ten or so years.

This is basic community journalism. This man is not a writer for a publication, but his input is useful and he is making an effort to share information and opinion on the topic.

I think this article is very limited. There were no experts cited, mostly anonymous comments. Not very in-depth. Some spelling errors.
Seems like the story was created in less than an hour. I dont quite get the point of the article. In this case, more credible quotes are necessary. I understand that there are illegal Brazilians working on Martha's Vineyard, but other than that, I didnt quite understand where the story is going. Cnsidering there are thousands of illegal immigrants in the state alone.
