Oh, The Irony -- A Red Light Camera Encounter

Sometimes a story crosses our desk that is so good, it needs little input from us. Tom Chamberlain submitted the following photo-narrative that truly illustrates a set of pictures is worth a thousand words. Enjoy.

I stopped to take pictures of a red light camera being repaired and the repairman called the police. I was lucky the Gurnee, Illinois police were very professional and allowed me to stay and take pictures. They did not even ask my name or for identification.

It is ironic that Redflex cameras take millions of pictures of unsuspecting motorists every day, but the Redflex repairman calls the police when someone on public property is taking pictures of their equipment and him.

Do not look behind the curtain.


You can't take pictures, only REDFLEX can take pictures here.


Calling police.


Now I'm in trouble.


Mr. RedFlex man learning that photography is legal.
