Legislature Will be Asked To Change Red-light Camera Law



SEATTLE, Wash.  (Metro)  -- The Washington State Legislature will be asked to change state law that will allow police departments to review video captured by red-light cameras for the purpose of solving murders. 

The Seattle Police Department and King County prosecutors will request that lawmakers change the statute that currently prohibits any use of red-light cameras other than for the purpose of catching motorists who run stop lights. 

Seattle Police Sergeant Sean Whitcomb says if red-light cameras record footage of suspect vehicles, it will provide valuable information to murder investigations.
