Chicago Aldermen: Ban red-light cams installed by Ariz. company

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Hispanic aldermen pushing for a boycott of all things Arizona to protest that state's controversial immigration law might hit a red light.

Chicago's 189 red-light cameras were installed by Arizona-based Redflex Traffic Systems, which put in the cameras and road sensors. It also operates the software and mails out the $100 tickets along with photographic evidence of the alleged red-light running.
A lot of people and businesses have been leaving Chicago since the 1950's.
