Detroit Police Chief James Craig nearly carjacked.
Quote:
DETROIT, MI — Upon returning to his estranged hometown, Detroit Police Chief James Craig seemed miffed by motorists' pervasive tendency to disregard traffic signals.
"One thing that I've been critical of, as it relates to... the way the good people in Detroit drive, some of them just blatantly run red traffic signals," Craig said in late-July. "And I don't know if they just have total disregard for traffic laws or they're afraid of being carjacked."
Craig on a recent Friday, just over three months since moving back to Detroit, experienced first hand what can happen while stopped at traffic light his city.

i'm glad the article mentioned craig's old opinion on red light running in detroit. obviously not everyone is running red lights to avoid a carjacking, but there is that threat with 582 carjackings this year so far.
Coming to Detroit very soon

Chicago has speed light cams in almost every neighborhood and it has red light cameras....this will have to be installed in Detroit if you want to control the crazy drivers that run red lights and speed. These cams are raising a lot of $$$.
As for the chief being carjacked, yeh, I can see why people run red lights too, but if you have cameras along Jefferson and the main streets, believe me it will stop.
