The South Carolina Traffic Enforcement Commission has recommended that the state continue its ban on using cameras to catch speeders. Lawmakers created the commission and banned the cameras after Ridgeland police began using them to catch speeders on Interstate 95.
The law bans using cameras to issue speeding tickets based on photographic evidence.
The Beaufort Gazette reports the commission made its recommendation to continue the ban earlier this month. The commission report says the state does not have enough judges to handle all of the cases that would be created if local governments began using the cameras.
The commission says only the state Department of Public Safety should ever be allowed to use the cameras.
The panel consisted of several legislators, Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal, and several representatives from the South Carolina Sheriffs Association and other law enforcement groups.
