"I watch them look up. They see that camera enforced sign and they slow down. They think twice about running the light."
Sean O’Neill, Bakersfield driver "People talk about the fact that Culver City has the cameras. That makes them extra cautious around the city because of that fact." Sgt. Omar Corrales, Culver City Police Department Napa Police Capt. Jeff Troendly said there is no doubt the cameras accomplish what they were installed to do, citing a reduction in the number of red-light cameras being triggered since all four were fully operational in February 2010.
