If you don’t run red lights, you need not fear the cameras.

It has nothing to do with fear. It’s about trust.

These cameras are causing rear end collisions. People stopping for yellow lights because they didn’t want to risk a ticket being rear ended by the guy behind them that expects to get through the intersection before the light changes.

Dear Chimes,
You are ignorant. Study the facts and get a life.
You know nothing and nothing is proudly worn on your chest.

That actually isn’t true.

They shorten the yellow light time so they can collect more revenue.

They do it for revenue, not safety.

Just don’t let any friend or relative drive you car.

This is not about fear of cameras. This is about Freedom.

Not a big fan of liberty, eh? I'll bet you don't mind having your house searched by the authorities regurlarly, because you have nothing to hide, huh?

That doesn't even pass the general smell test. As a general rule I fear anything that empowers the government at the expense of their masters, including this.

But there's more than that in this case. For example, when Georgia recently passed a law intended to curb abuse of these cameras, mandating a 1-second extension of the yellow where cameras are used, violations (and the associated hazards) declined. The cities then gave the camera operating companies an ultimatum to figure out how to get violations back up again!!

If the cameras are gone, you need not fear the cameras.
