Baltimore Problems With Speed Camera Company Raising Questions in Chicago

Chicago preparing to test launch with same company next week

Xerox State & Local Solutions Inc., one of two firms selected by the Emanuel administration to test cameras in Chicago, has come under scrutiny in recent months for faulty equipment and thousands of erroneous tickets issued in Baltimore over the past three years.
