ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Traffic officials are rejecting more than 1,000 potential tickets from Orlando's new red light cameras because they were deemed unreliable. But in the six weeks since the cameras were installed, officials say the cameras have accurately caught many more red light runners.

Some county commissioners are satisfied with the error rate and some are not. Those concerns will be hashed out Tuesday afternoon.

There are a number of reasons why a red light camera might register that a driver deserves a ticket but then that driver might not get one, ranging from simple camera failure to license plate confusion.

Still, supporters of the plan say, even with the errors, the pilot program is having a big impact. At the intersection of John Young Parkway and Central Florida Parkway, red light cameras registered a total of 1,400 tickets that have been deemed accurate.

All told, at the three Orange County locations where cameras have been installed, 3,800 drivers have been caught running red lights. One commissioner who has pushed for the cameras said drivers should be pleased, not alarmed, that about 1,300 of those are being thrown out.

"I would think that the public would be satisfied even more so because we've taken a lot of time to make sure that we're not just giving out tickets willy-nilly, that we are actually reviewing each and every one," Commissioner Linda Steward said Thursday.

What Commissioner Stewart, Mayor Rich Crotty and other commissioners are not happy about was Tallahassee lawmakers' decision to allow fines of only $60 for people accurately caught running a light. They said that is simply not enough of a penalty to prevent people from doing it.

There's also the issue of expanding the program. Orange County only gets half of the fine money that is collected from the tickets. That money will be used to expand to program to other intersections, but smaller fines will mean less money for expansion.
