There have been a plethora of red Light Cameras installed in Broward County at the cost of millions of dollars.

Now, studies are showing an increase of bad accidents, as some motorists slam on the brakes on yellow, causing others to violently rear-end them, and several others behind becoming involved as well. That, and the money spent to combat litigation from a whole new classification of lawyers who see this as a chance to make money.

These cameras were never installed to save lives. They are unabashedly meant for revenue and are failing miserably in their quest.

A lot of them are being removed.

This is what I do when I come across them, but only when in a rental car. Sadly, I have not been hit yet. :-(

Red light cameras just removed in St. Pete, Florida ...

Tampa (Hillsboro County, next door) still wants to use them.

Guess where citizens will go to spend their disposable income ?

Politicians are soooo stupid.
