Rules like publishing the data to show a safety value for enforcement cameras ARE absolutely critical to the public.  Failure of the city to follow those rules should void every camera ticket during the periods of non-compliance.  Citizens are bound to follow the law and SO are our governments.  The lawsuit should prevail.

WHY is this important?  It is because the primary purpose for ticket cameras is revenue, not safety. The cameras are for-profit business partnerships between governments and for-profit ticket camera companies.  In most cases, truly unbiased analysis of the data will show little or no safety value - and maybe reduced safety.

It is critical for the public to see the data to be able to object to the for-profit revenue programs and demand they be ended when they do not improve safety.
