HOUSTON – The city’s controversial red light camera program looks to be expanding. On Wednesday, the city council asked the Houston Police Department to suggest where to place more cameras.

The council also asked HPD’s top brass to make a list of the 50 red intersections with the highest number of traffic accidents that are not currently equipped with red light cameras. That is in addition to an independent study into whether the cameras have reduced the number of accidents at intersections.

That study is expected to be released later this summer.

In about two months, council will revisit the issue and decide if an additional 125 cameras will be purchased to cover 50 extra intersections.

However, the city's plans for red light expansion may come to a halt if two Houston brothers get their way. Bail bondsman Michael Kubosh and his attorney brother Paul are looking to force a citywide referendum on the cameras.

“Let the citizens of the city of Houston decided whether or not they want this red light camera scheme,” said Michael.

His brother calls the city's program dishonest.

“They're lying to the public. They're saying this is about public safety,” said Paul Kubosh. “If they would just come out and say, “We want your money because we want to spend it the way we see fit.”

“I wouldn't say fraud. But they're lying to the public.”

It may not be until March before any referendum could be put before voters. A state law prohibits a measure that has failed in a previous election to be brought back before voters for 24 months.

The last attempt to let the voters decide the fate of red light cameras went in favor of those who support the program. This year's election falls on Nov. 4, just a few days shy of 24 months.
