ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando City Council has preliminarily approved a new plan to place red light cameras at the city's 10 most dangerous intersections. Each one of the intersections chosen has a history of red-light running and related crashes.

The state hasn't given police departments the authority to give someone a ticket for running a red light without actually being at the intersection to witness the infraction. But, after a preliminary plan was approved Monday evening, code enforcement could be sending you the ticket in the mail if you run the red light at Rosalind Street and Robinson in downtown Orlando.

The city council didn't hesitate to preliminarily approve an ordinance that will cost violators $125. The city plans to install cameras at 10 intersections across the city to catch drivers who run red lights.

City leaders said they chose 10 of the most dangerous intersections where drivers constantly run red lights.

"Anybody who doesn't think this is important should go to a crash scene and watch them cutting victims our of cars just because someone isn't patient," said Patty Sheehan, an Orlando City Councilwoman. "This is preventable. These are all unnecessary deaths that are occurring."

The state legislature has been reluctant to give police departments the power to install traffic cameras to catch red light runners. Just like the ACLU, they're concerned about the right to privacy.

"The legislature will not authorize the use of cameras through normal traffic enforcement, so we are using our code enforcement powers, which are legitimate policing powers of the city," said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer.

The city still has one more vote on this issue. It's scheduled to happen at a meeting next month. The plan is to install cameras at the 10 intersection, mainly along Colonial Drive, Orange Blossom Trail, Orange Avenue and John Young Parkway by February.
