   There's nothing like the local government telling you how they can take your   
   money. Red light cameras are just the perfect way to legally make you fair   
   game.    
      
   'In November, voters in St. Charles County, Missouri, banned red light cameras   
   with a 73 percent majority -- but city council members of several towns within   
   the county are now suing to bring them back. "They're suing their own   
   residents," said St.    
   Charles County Councilman Joe Brazil, who supports the ban.   
      
   Critics like Brazil have alleged that the lawsuit is a transparent attempt to   
   increase city revenues, while the lawsuit claims that there's no authority for   
   voters at the county level to ban cameras within city limits. The lawsuit   
   could take as long as    
   several years to resolve.' - - Bonnie Kristian

   Some say you don't have to worry about paying. Well, that makes the debate   
   highly irrelevant. They have the right to set up the red light cameras, you   
   have the right not to pay.
