I’ve read the Sun-Times’ reporting over and over and over again, pointing out that corruption in the Chicagoland suburbs abounds, spurred by the oh-so-irresistible temptation of the revenue promised by the companies that hawk red light cameras.
I recall the reporting in 2017 that “[u]nder its deals with Chicago suburbs, [SafeSpeed] gets nearly 40% of the money from tickets issued by its cameras.” Then in 2019, it was reported that SafeSpeed was under federal investigation but that it had not been charged with wrongdoing.
