I have been driving a firetruck for quite some time and have witnessed the red light cameras go online where I work. Prior to their introduction, when we came to an intersection with lights and sirens blaring, people would look both ways and if it was safe to do so, clear the intersection.
Now with the cameras, they just sit there, as would I. Karma would be that full arrest we are heading to is the idiot that approved these things.
Soap box mode off.
I hadn’t even considered that aspect. I know how rattled many drivers get even under routine conditions when they encounter emergency vehicles.
I’m going to do my best to build up a head of steam to have the cameras in our town decommissioned.
