Red-light camera exec gets $2M fine, 30 months in prison for bribery

Here's a good "red alert" story about a CEO that got pinched for bribery.

The bribery is about those red light cameras that trap cars going through stop lights.

The CEO of Redflex Traffic Systems got caught bribing a Chicago official and an Ohio and was convicted.

The company is an Australian company so it looks like we have an international incident !!!

RED-LIGHT CAMERA CEO GETS $2M FINE & 30 MONTHS IN PRISON FOR BRIBERY SCAM

A now former CEO of a red-light camera firm now has a $2 million fine and is sentenced to 30 months in prison after being caught red-handed bribing public officials in two states.

Karen Finley, the former chief executive of Redflex Traffic Systems, an Australia-based company, was found guilty of paying off a Chicago official in order to help her company win contracts for the installation of these red-light cameras.

Finley had already been serving a 14-month sentence for her role in bribing a public official in Ohio and has now doubled her prison sentence.

Paying off a Chicago official....hmmmmm. I would never have dreamed it

Yea Chicago officials usually play ball with all laws and regulations....

Sorry, milk just came out of my nose. Hahahahaha

Oh stop it.

Seriously? You just served time for the same thing, and thought, "what the hell, let's try it again"?

I think she needs a longer sentence. For stupidity alone.

Good Job, Fox F&S! I think this case coming down the pipe
is a real precedent for even Chicago.. "Pay for Playback".
I couldn't help it, I've been under a lot of stress this week.

Figures as much. No wonder why these cameras caught on so strong everywhere with people like this out there.
