There is an article in The Columbus Dispatch today and various law enforcement agencies were quoted, pimping these systems to the public.

A thought that immediately ran through my head:
Columbus has neighborhoods that are unsafe to live in without bars across your windows and the hoods govern the streets. The police response? Let's put cameras at intersections to catch red light runners.

The company's proposal included the potential $4.5 million of annual revenue to the city. The city politicians may have a fleeting thought of despair for a life lost to a traffic accident. They will mourn for years over lost revenue they can not spend.

Wait until they start turning long existent freeways into toll roads... There are always new "revenue" sources for bankrupt politicians.
