Syracuse is activating its “School Zone Traffic Enforcement” program, issuing $50 fines for automated speed and red-light camera violations starting November 2. This follows a 60-day warning period where the system flagged nearly 60,000 infractions in just two weeks, indicating a massive new scale of automated ticketing. While speed cameras are limited to school hours, the red-light cameras will operate 24/7, extending surveillance well beyond the stated purpose of protecting students and creating a constant revenue stream. This system of remote policing shifts the burden of proof to vehicle owners, who must contest photo-based allegations without the due process of a traditional traffic stop. The program represents a significant expansion of automated municipal enforcement.
