GRANITE CITY, Ill. — Police in Granite City, Illinois have a new tool to help catch motorists who run red lights. They are posting pictures of the crimes on Facebook.
Look at the video from the camera across the street and you’ll see the problem that’s caused much of the chaos. Driver after driver choosing to ignore the red light at the intersection and blow right through. The thought of a child crossing as this happens is enough to scare them to death here.
