K. Phillips is a lifelong East Point resident turned outspoken community advocate. Over the last year, since the implementation of East Point’s Redspeed Camera system, Ms. Phillips has filed numerous Open Records Requests, has spoken to a dozen city officials, and has sent and answered innumerable emails regarding her and her neighbors’ experience with the camera system and the resultant fines that came along with it.
Ms. Phillips shared her story with The East Point News after having gotten nowhere with City officials. After speaking with her, we then set out to investigate her year-long effort to uncover the details surrounding the city’s camera ticketing program, and the city’s response to her efforts.
Ms. Phillips also spoke at this past Monday’s Council meeting, where the Council directed the City Manager to fix the school safety light on Headland Drive–one of the most profitable in the city’s small web of profit-generating Redspeed Cameras.
She has yet to get a resolution. Bravely and selflessly, she has agreed to come forward and share her story. Please take a read.
