Unless you don't agree that people that run lights endanger lives, you can't disagree that the amount of red light running fines have dropped dramatically therefore it is saving lives. This isn't about some big brother is watching you crap, it's the city would rather have money than have a system that actually works. |
Nor is money the only reason cameras have been removed. In Lubbock, Texas, the City Council shut down all its cameras last month, citing a report that showed statistically significant increases in rear-end collisions at intersections, including those with cameras.
Rear ended collisions kill people too. And also have a huge personal property damage cost and take up officers time. But I'm sure those people deserved to have there cars wrecked for going 30 mph over and the officers would just be eating donuts anyway.
