Ocoee city leaders voted Tuesday to continue enforcing certain red light camera violations.
Drivers can receive a ticket if they go through a red light in Ocoee without stopping, including when turning right on red without making a complete stop.
Police do look at the driver's speed before deciding whether to hand out a ticket, meaning slow rolls are often let go.
Ocoee Mayor Scott Vandergrift admits he has received two tickets for running red lights. While he did not dispute his tickets, the majority of those red light violators are getting their cases tossed out because police say rolling right turns on red don’t always deserve a ticket.
There are eight cameras at six different intersections in Ocoee that catch thousands of people running red lights.
The red light camera company, American Traffic Solutions, insists that right turn on red enforcement is meant to protect pedestrians with the right of way.
Drivers pay $158 per ticket. About half of that goes to the state, the other half goes to paying for and monitoring the cameras. So at the end of the day, Mayor Vandergrift says the money only goes toward keeping drivers safe.
