Dori does not believe that red light cameras are about safety. (KIRO 7 TV)

I have a challenge to public officials in Kent. That is because they are now going to enforce their brand-new red light cameras.

In Kent, if you get a red light camera violation, that's $136. City leaders told Q13 News that the point of having the cameras is to make streets safer.

I think they're lying.

I'll make public officials in Kent the same offer I made public officials in Lynnwood several years ago when they tried telling us that all the red light cameras there were just about safety. I believed then and I believe now that red light cameras are seen by politicians as nothing more than a gigantic source of revenue.

Red light cameras are nothing but scams 

I know that in my town, where we have two schools and one red light camera, if the city does not produce enough in red light revenues, the camera company will pull the cam out and move it to a spot with higher revenues. But if you're really all about safety, your goal should be zero in revenues. You don't want anyone getting tickets because you don't want anyone breaking traffic rules.

In Lynnwood, the city is desperately hungry for people to get red light camera tickets because the city has built its budget in a way that relies on this revenue.

A few years ago, I called them out on this. I called the Lynnwood politicians liars on-air.

A Lynnwood City Council member called me in a fury after I said that. I wish I still had this audio. "Do you really believe we care about money more than public safety?" he said.

I made him an offer. I told him to come in and take a polygraph test. He refused.

The answer is, I really did believe it then and really do believe it to this day. If you're building your revenue model in big part around red light cameras, then yes, I do believe money means more to you than safety.

Kent is the same way. If any Kent public officials want to come in, take a polygraph test, and prove to me that these are more about public safety than money, let's arrange that.

I simply do not believe politicians when they tell me that anything is about more than just money.

Poroshenko ready for polygraph test live on air, not within Bureau of Investigation walls

Ukraine's fifth president and European Solidarity Party leader Petro Poroshenko said he was ready to answer questions using a lie detector live on television.

"I don't trust the SBI [State Bureau of Investigation], their management. I don't believe this investigation is objective and unbiased. At the same time, I am prepared to voice those questions – and I have a list of them – on Pryamiy [television] channel. I am ready to pass a lie detector live on Pryamiy," Poroshenko said at a briefing in Kyiv.

Earlier today, SBI director Roman Truba said that the next questioning of Poroshenko might involve the use of a polygraph. "We are not ruling out that the next questioning will be carried out with the use of a polygraph. This is nothing to be afraid of: all our staff undergo such psychophysical examination every year," Truba wrote on the Telegram channel.

Poroshenko currently appears in several inquiries, mostly as a witness. Thus, on August 12 he was at the SBI headquarters being questioned in connection with possible tax evasion when purchasing the Pryamiy television channel.
