Oh, and to further disappoint you around half of the freedom loving members of Free Republic support red light cameras because their is no freedom more precious to them than insuring their own safety.
Studies are showing that these cameras often make us less safe.
People freak out and do stupid things rather than the safe thing when the light turns yellow during a close call situation.
Also, the rigging of the yellow light timing to catch more people has actually caused some fatalities.
I used to commute year-round into downtown DC on my motorcycles and had to drive through a "protected" intersection near the Treasury building.
Since almost any car behind me tailgated, and the yellow lights were notoriously short, I always had to decide to try to run the yellow, and risk a red light ticket, or apply the binders and get run over from behind by a cage who was too close.
Thank goodness that the type of motorcycles I ride are harder to read by the radars and I did not ever get a ticket, even when I was still in the intersection when the yellow changed to red.
