Red light cameras have plenty of other problems too. I had a chance to observe some (as a pedestrian) that last Summer, and saw that many pictures were taken of cars that got stuck in an intersection, after someone else did something stupid and/or illegal.

I saw a large touring bus flashed about seven times while waiting to turn, because he had not been able to get the bis turned before the light turned completely red.

Another intersection, the red light camera would go off seemingly when no one had triggered it. Observation showed what was happening. Every time the left hand turns were made in the opposite direction a car would always overturn and end up just over the corner of the trigger line for the other side.

Time was, if your front wheels were in the intersection while the light was still yellow, you were legal and could take as long as necessary to get through.

Of course, that doesn't produce enough revenue for the government leeches.
