Got-Cha Photo Enforcement Cameras
Fellow Citizens:
The Dayton Unit NAACP will be hosting a Town Hall on Photo Enforcement Cameras on Monday, May 21, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. at the Dayton Boys Preparatory Academy. You will hear first hand the PROS and CONS of these cameras. The City of Dayton will share the PROS and an Attorney who has been highly successful at getting these cameras banned in other Cities in Ohio will share the CONS.
Are you a fan of Red Light Cameras and Mobile Speed Trailers? If not, are you willing to sign and circulate a petition to gather enough valid signatures from registered voters in the City of Dayton to have this issue placed on the ballot in November 2018? Would you rather have a Police Officer to issue you a citation for breaking a traffic law?
