Photo Monitoring for Red Lights

I was reading this post on the SW Virginia Blog about the possibility of the General Assembly passing another red light camera law. Coincidentally, I saw this February 8 article where Delegate Leo Wardrup dropped his appeal of a general district court conviction for running a red light and causing an accident. Interestingly, I saw that Mr. Wardrup on February 6 voted yea for HB1778 which permits the use of photo-monitoring systems to enforce traffic light signals (the bill passed the House). Unfortunate timing I guess.
