Declan,

I've seen several Politech articles on RLCs.  It
appears, at least if you believe ACS, that Chapel
Hill, NC is the first community to reject RLCs.

Here's a couple links about it:

http://www.heraldsun.com/orange/10-441371.html
http://newsobserver.com/news/story/3196101p-2873382c.html

These stories gloss over several of the substantive
reasons the council had for rejecting the system,
including the mechanization of law, the way the
systems calibration was set to create unnecessary
violations, the questionable claims of the vendor, etc.
