MORRISON, Colo. — In its first two weeks, the Town of Morrison's new automated radar camera issued more than 10, 000 tickets to speeding drivers, according to Morrison Police Chief Bill Vinelli .
The camera will still take a picture of drivers caught going 34 mph, but they will not be issued tickets. According to Chief Vinelli, in its first two weeks, the camera issued more than 10,000 tickets. For comparison, the Morrison Police Department issued a total of 1,700 speeding citations in 2023.Vinelli said two drivers were clocked driving 60 mph — more than double the speed limit. That type of speed, if caught by an officer, will come with a trip to jail, the police chief said.
"Morrison has been painted as a speed trap. But you can see this is right out in the open, there's no hiding. We did a 60-day warning period. We have a sign posted back there," explained Vinelli."The town's not doing it to make money. The town is doing it because of the tourist attraction that Morrison brings or is," said Vinelli.
