Remember Michael Kubosh, the guy who told the world he was going to run a red light and then claimed the city was targeting him when he got a ticket for doing it? It was a botched protest against the city's red-light camera system, but now Kubosh seems to have gotten back on track: Making good on his promise to fight the cameras, he's planning to file suit to get the cameras removed.

Kubosh, a bail bondsman, said the cameras violate state law because citations that come from the camera system are considered civil offenses, whereas running a red light is a criminal offense under state law — so, he argues, the city has passed a law that conflicts with state law, making the camera system illegal. He now says he's also concerned that the cameras issue tickets to the owners of cars that run lights, not to the drivers, and calls the system "a money grab scheme."

According to KTRK, the camera system has issued 4,800 citations since it went online in September. The city says the main benefit of the cameras is that they'll cut down on accidents — by making people more conscious of running red lights, we assume, and by recording what happens when an accident does occur — though HPD Sgt. Michael Muench admitted that there's no evidence yet to show that they're working to make the streets safer. "It's a little too early to determine what the cause and effect results are, with the accident statistics," he told Channel 13.

Kubosh said he plans to file his suit based on a citation he received from a red-light camera (presumably when he ran a light with less fanfare) next week.
