Cedar Rapids Police going back on their word? That's one guy says after getting a red light camera ticket.
The man got the ticket in the mail on Monday. A ticket he should have never received.
A semi-truck runs this red light on 2nd and 10th. It's all caught on video by the red light camera, but that's only part of the problem. Now look at this picture. Can you tell what that plate number is? You can see it's blocked by what appears to be a metal bar.
"If he can't clearly view that plate number than we are not going to send that to somebody in hopes that we are right," said Captain Steve O'Konek, Cedar Rapids Police, in a November 2009 interview with CBS 2.
David Draheim got a ticket in the mail last November, after this gray car ran a red light in Washington D.C. Problem is, this isn't David's car. You can see the camera didn't get a good picture of the plate.
"If I got this in the mail, I would question it, too," said O'Konek.
So are cops taking back what they told us in November? There's no question the semi-truck runs the red light, but did the officer get a clear view of this plate? David certainly doesn't think so.
"Yeah, they said they wouldn't do that. They said if they weren't absolutely sure, they wouldn't send out tickets," said Draheim.Red Light Ticket Mistake
