The camera had been stationed in a park in Hamilton on April
2 at the same time a youth soccer tournament, the Mid-American Soccer Classic, was
being held.
Police Chief Neil Ferdelman tells The Journal News of
Hamilton that he canceled the tickets because of the tournament, which he says
drew many out-of-towners who were unaware the camera was in use.
The tournament’s director says there would have been
consequences for next year’s event if Hamilton had decided to pursue the
tickets.
At $95 each, the 900 tickets would have totaled more than
$86,000. The chief says 70 of the tickets were mailed.
Those motorists have been sent letters telling them: never
mind.
