CALVERT COUNTY, Md. – August 6-12 is National Stop on Red Week. This week “serves as an important reminder of the dangers we face on our roads and the responsibility we all hold to ‘Stop on Red,’” the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office stated in a Facebook post.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, between 2008 and 2021, an estimated 11,296 people were killed in crashes related to red-light running.
“Safety is the responsibility of everyone — not just during Stop on Red Week, but every day and every time someone takes to the road,” the Sheriff’s Office stated. “Together, we can protect our communities, families, and children by always stopping on red.”

If you call the police office and tell them you want to speak with the officer who gave you a ticket, because it wasn’t necessary, they’ll tell you they don’t send officers out for that reason. Supposedly, everything is resolved in court. Its also unlikely you can deliver a message to the judge that a sentence was excessive. Even though this is feedback the criminal justice system should have.
Correct, as it should be.
think of the charities that are deprived because we have to pay ticket fines to the Maryland Court, instead of charity.
Ridiculous comment. You break the law, pay the fine and be thankful you didn’t plow into an innocent person
about red lights, about running red lights, about tickets for running red lights. Please keep in mind that before the red light, there wasn’t a red light to run & no ticket for running a red light.
Correct and before red lights people were driving a horse. Dumb comment
ok. Go ahead after the stop is over, and turn around and see if the light is red. If it has switched colors, you should tell the judge you weren’t able to verify the charges and verifying charges is a part of due process. Its ok to think that red light tickets because they can’t be verified are a denial of due process. Annapolis hasn’t done a dog on thing about it.
There you go, lie about what you did and demand to get off. Seems to be the American way now days.
