The State Senate has approved a bill to allow police in several Virginia localities to ticket cars caught on camera running a red light, but the measure faces serious opposition in the House of Delegates.
The Senate voted 32-to-8 in favor of the bill yesterday, which was introduced by Shawsville democrat Madison Marye.
The proposed law would allow the cameras in localities where police departments have requested them, including Blacksburg and Charlottesville.
The bill now heads to the House Committee on Militia and Police.
