Proving the violation

Councilman Jimmy Vacca (D-Bronx) said traffic agents should have picture evidence of some of the tickets they write.

He proposed a law last week that would outfit all traffic agents with a camera phone-like device that both writes up and photographs violations.

Chicago already has outfitted its ticket agents with similar devices.

The idea is to cut down on out-of-control agents who write questionable tickets and to keep motorists who constantly challenge every violation from clogging the court system.
