Man Gets Ticket From Officer In Camera Protest

POSTED: Monday, September 18, 2006

HOUSTON -- A man tried to protest Houston's red-light cameras by running one and challenging the ticket in court, but he got a ticket from an officer instead, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Michael Kubosh, a Harris County bail bondsman, purposely ran a red light on Milam Street at Elgin Street at about 7 a.m. on Sunday.

Kubosh said he wanted to get a ticket to contest it in court, because he believes the cameras conflict with state law.

After Kubosh ran the light, a Houston police officer stopped him and gave him a citation.

Citations written by officers supercede violations caught by the cameras.
