Thieving #$@^%&*()@! (Fill in the blank, it will only be half as good as they deserve)!
The people who do this stuff should be prosocuted and jailed. This is just as much theft as someone who robbs a 7/11. Local government can be just as corrupt and tyrannical as the federal government, but they don’t always have the legislative restraints. Put them away as the despicable criminals they are.

I wonder how many traffic collisions/injuries/deaths this may have caused.
I’m thinking an initiative petition to make that kind of monkeying a felony and not covered by sovereign immunity protection. As much as I don’t like how Florida’s i-p process ends up directly in the Constitution, this is a time that I could support such a measure.
I’m shocked.
Here is a British site, showing that when people have finally had enough of this nonsense, what they can do about it:

Note: there are so many pictures, they have subdivided it into four pages. While somewhat repetitive, it is an enjoyable site.
I whole heartedly support vandalism of red light cameras.
I’m a law and order guy, but government will push as far as it can and sooner or later it goes too far.
Funny. I don't hate them at all. You see I never enter an intersection when the light is red (except for very polite - never make the other guy even have to think about stepping on his brakes - right turns on red). So as long as the picture shows the red light and indicates how long the since the light went red I have no problem with cameras intended to catch idiots.

I can enter an intersection on a green light, have it turn yellow and red before I get to the other side. I can’t just dash through across culverts and around corners in a motorhome.
