Stop running red lights and their revenue will dry up.
Just a thought.
Ah, you assume Chicago runs the system fairly and that their motives are as advertised, so that those ticketed legitimately, and avoidably, ran a red.
Municipalities (no idea if Chicago is included here or not) have been caught doing things at intersections with cameras that increase the probability of receiving a ticket while actually decreasing safety, like reducing yellow light times, in some cases to less than federal guidelines. Therefore, if in a case like that the municipality says they’re concerned about safety, it’s not just suspicious, it’s provably a lie.

Nothing to hide? No reason to object to a search of your house.
Do you really trust the guys setting up the timing of the light, as well as the camera, that much?
That right there is funny. Hilarious attempt at law and order.
You’ve never got caught by a quick-yellow and rolled through an intersection? C’mon!
Your locality needs revenue? They just tweak the light timing. The statistical certainty is such that they can predict the exact percentage by which the revenue will increase.
