For those who have been busted by a red light camera that catches speeders and red light runners, this story should make you feel a little better. Traffic cameras have snapped 26 local patrol cars speeding and running red lights in eastern Iowa. Cedar Rapids Police Chief Greg Graham said six cops have been issued letters of discipline because they didn’t have their patrol car lights and sirens on when they were speeding to a call. He said five were not violations and that the remaining 15 instances are under review. Cedar Rapids police have also notified Marion police and the Linn County Sheriff’s Office of possible violations by their personnel, and are investigating infractions by city buses and a garbage truck. Marion Police Chief Harry Daugherty said the authorities must be “consistent and show no favoritism.”
