Traffic-enforcement cameras coming to East Providence
The Providence Journal
EAST PROVIDENCE Beware drivers: your city is getting speed-zone cameras.
“After receiving consistent resident concerns about speeding on our city streets, we will be installing a traffic enforcement system in East Providence,” East Providence Police Chief William C. Nebus has announced. A speed enforcement program is an effective one at deterring speeding, reducing crashes, and ultimately saving lives, he said.
The fine for running through a red light intersection will be $85. The fine for speeding in a school safety zone will be $50.
Here s what is known: The program will commence with a 30-day warning period. Motorists will receive a notice in the mail instead of a violation with the goal of changing driver behavior before a violation.
Philip estimates that he injected $1 million into each of his scar-tracked arms during the 18 years he lost to heroin.
He watched his Fall River home with its granite countertops, his job as a truck driver, his marriage, and his relationship with his two young children evaporate as quickly as the money he used to keep the sickness of withdrawal at bay.
“It’s a chase every day, from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed,” Philip said.
“I lost everything, just for a drug.”
Philip arrived late to heroin, first snorting it at a friend’s urging at age 27 after becoming hooked on the Percocet that had been prescribed for a back injury. Within a week, his days and nights were ruled by the quest to get more heroin by any means. He’d inject some $450 worth a day. He’d buy it in Providence and sell it in Fall River at a $150 profit to fuel his habit.

Fined $1,250 and barred from future police details
SCITUATE – Town Councilor James Brady must pay a civil penalty of $1,250 for violating Rhode Island Ethics law and a previous opinion and may no longer work police details during his time on the council.
Rhode Island Ethics Commission prosecutor Katherine D’Arezzo found that Brady violated ethics law when he questioned former Scituate Police Chief Donald Delaere about a July 2019 police detail while serving as Scituate Town Council president.
In the July 2019 email to Delaere, Brady asked why an out-of-town officer worked a detail “when all retired officers were not first asked.” Brady said he was not offered the July 2019 detail.
