when police officers were directing traffic through red lights along a major road as a traffic control measure after a major event at the Prudential Center.

What makes that interesting to me is that in most locations, as far as I am aware, every single infraction must be reviewed, even if only cursory, by a human being. I tested this at a light in Seattle. Every week I’d go through it on my way home from band practice. My goal was to go fast enough that the computer would think I wasn’t going to stop, and then stop at the last minute, without screeching my tires. I got flashed at least a dozen times, but never received a ticket.

i.e. the one you mentioned suggests something far more nefarious than simply “making a mistake”.

I would understand why you’d think this was something nefarious, but I am almost 100% certain that case I mentioned involved a lazy police department who never reviewed the video as required, and a stupid employee at the private company managing the system who didn’t think to ask himself why so many violations had occurred at one place on one day.
