I-Team: Thousands ticketed by school zone cameras set up further from the school than law allows
The FOX 5 I-Team found a pair of automated school zone cameras in southwest Atlanta set up too far away from an elementary school under Georgia law, but the city and Atlanta Public Schools aren't budging on more than 6K citations issued there. Under the 2018 law legalizing the cameras, school zones must be within 1,000 feet of a school boundary, but one camera for the Fickett Elementary school zone stands double that distance away.
