I'm not completely opposed to the idea of red light cameras, but I hear some jurisdictions have been shortening yellow lights to increase infractions, increase revenues, and make the intersection less safe than it was before the camera.

Hurting people so the city can get more ticket revenues? Now that's some real bullshit.

Whenever I hear "Revenue" mentioned in any breath while talking about money and government, it really lights a fuse for me. Government does not have revenue, they are not there for that! These governments claim that these traffic lights are for our safety. Anybody who believes that is completely delusional.

No kidding. My check is supposed to be made payable to the "City of Beverly Hills Photo Enforcement Program", yet the address is to some PO box in Cincinnati, Ohio. Not gonna happen. They won't get a cent from me. I'm not about to hand over $108 of my money to some private camera company in Ohio! They've gotta be out of their minds.
