Connecticut’s rollout of automated speed cameras is generating millions in revenue for towns while raising significant due process and technology-failure concerns. In Washington, the town’s vendor admitted to “struggling with the technology” and connectivity problems, yet citations were still issued based on potentially faulty data. Officials in Middletown and Marlborough defend the programs, citing dramatic reductions in speeding and framing the fines as a choice. However, the system’s design as a civil, not criminal, process circumvents standard legal protections, making it difficult for drivers to meaningfully contest tickets. This privatized enforcement model creates a direct financial incentive for towns to maximize citations, prioritizing revenue over fair and accurate adjudication. The result is a system where residents are left to question the legitimacy of fines generated by flawed technology with limited recourse.
