Yeah, well if you actually read the article, you'll see that here in Denton, as in most other places, this is not about "stopping those ferdammt red-light runners" at all:
It's all about, and only about, generating revenue to support a profligate, irresponsible city government.
Time and time again, where these cameras are installed, the number of light runners drops so sharply that the cameras no longer produce the amount of revenue guaranteed to the private camera operating company.
What happens then?
Take a guess.
That's right: the next step is to sharply shorten the amount of time the yellow light is on, to increase the revenues.
So tell me again: What does this have to do with highway safety?
Well, I read through it a second time, and the only fact in the story that I could find which could remotely support your claim is that a lot of the heavy traffic is on state roads and the cameras cannot be installed on them.
That's right: the next step is to sharply shorten the amount of time the yellow light is on, to increase the revenues.
If you'll actually read my response (again?), you'll note that I addressed that potential problem. Get your stopwatch out. Time the yellows now. Time them again after the cameras are installed. Time them again a year later. Time them until you get what you're looking for. It's not rocket science and it doesn't take a lot of effort. If your city officials are so stupid as to shorten the yellows, nail 'em. Then, look at the bright side: maybe you and your fellow citizens will vote them out of office.
Buncha anarchists.
