The cameras installed by Nestor Traffic Systems Inc. photograph motorists as they approach and travel through an intersection after the light has changed to red. A vehicle's license plate is photographed from both the front and rear. The rear-facing camera is expected to increase the likelihood of convictions since it records the signal light and documents the distance the violator was behind the limit line the moment the light turns red. The city had a different vendor setting up similar cameras, but they provided poor-quality photos and the contract was canceled. -- City News Service Frisky frisk·y adj. frisk·i·er, frisk·i·est Energetic, lively, and playful: a frisky kitten. frisk Kitty strip club OK, for now A Tarzana strip club can continue to operate, but the City Attorney's Office will get another chance next month to try to shut it down, a judge ruled Thursday.
