Washington: Activist Predicts Initiative Will End Red Light Cameras Voters are poised to make life difficult for photo ticketing companies in Washington state. On November 5, Initiative 517, the Protect the Initiative Act, will appear on the ballot. The measure is designed to overturn a 2012 state Supreme Court ruling that gave photo enforcement companies the right to tell the public that they had no say in whether red light cameras and speed cameras could be used in their communities (view ruling). The latest Elway Poll of registered voters conducted last month shows I-517 cruising toward victory statewide with a 36 point lead. The out of state red light camera companies thought the Supreme Court immunized them to any opposition, and Initiative 517 says were just getting started, I-517 co-sponsor Tim Eyman told TheNewspaper. I predict in the next two years, Washington will not have any red light cameras or speed cameras in any jurisdiction in the state.
