I don’t think the cameras cause rear end collisions. It’s the people behind you that aren’t paying attention.
Should we also have cameras posted along all roadways looking for those not paying attention and following too closely?
It’s because the person that realizes the light is changing, slams on their brakes in order to not get a ticket. The person behind them slams into them expecting them to go through the light. I read an article about this last week. Some cities are taking them out because the rear-end collisions have doubled and tripled.

That’s damn near moronic, cars on the road have widely varying capabilities. I was rear ended once on a major highway ,, came over a rise and traffic was snarled. I was driving a VW GTI and still had my autocross competition tires mounted from the weekend... the car behind me was a Vega station wagon with skinny cheap tires and the car behind him was a 1 ton 4wd truck with an full bed of construction tools... The people behind me didn’t stand a chance.. That GTI could stop FAR quicker than they could.
We have cameras in use where I live ,, I have come close to being rear ended many times.
