Jay Beeber of Sherman Oaks, CA has been hard at work and it paid off in a big way today when the Los Angeles Police Commission voted to completely dismantle the city’s red light camera program.

The Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners voted Tuesday morning to get rid of the red light cameras at intersections. This is a major victory for Jay Beeber, a member of the Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council, who has been campaigning against the use of the cameras.
