Red light crashers have a habit of repeating the same. The guy who flew through crossing well after red light would get lots of tickets and that might alter his behavior eventually.
I watch that show “See no evil” where many crimes are solved due to camera’s observing street activity. Frankly we are all safer with more public camera’s. This is not big government trying to confiscate your guns or money. The revenue from traffic camera’s is minuscule compared to property taxes, income taxes, utility taxes, auto licensing taxes, gasoline taxes, sales taxes, etc.
It also has been shown that in many red light camera intersections the city reduces the yellow light times by several seconds than what they were, to deliberately fine people. In addition this practice leads to more accidents at these intersections because of deliberately shortened yellow lights.
Red light cameras are largely revenue collection schemes. Nothing you say changes the truth or my belief on this.
