Speed cam ... red light plate cover ...
#2
I fully support ALL red light cameras.. I see too many people running lights which get too close and t-bone collisions are the ones that kill people as there is little protection for passengers through the side of the car. I had an SUV barrel through a red right in front of me last year, if I was quicker off the line it would have done some real damage.
If you have an issue with them, LEARN TO PAY ATTENTION WHEN YOU DRIVE, or walk\take the bus!
I hate when people ask me if they should fight their red light cameras.. they are clearly marked, so no excuses.
If you want to go fast, take it to the track.. and you will learn how to as well.

I have seen literature that shows they increase accidents at intersections. Also, sometimes they actually shorten the yellow so they can ticket more people. Other times, they cannot differentiate a stop, then right on red (in states where its legal) so you end up with a ticket even tho you did nothing wrong. Because of this, people won't go right on red causing a big backup at several intersections in my town. Basically, you are going to have idiot drivers no matter what and Im tired of the inept politicians passing budgets they can't fund so they turn to traffic cameras to try and cover budget shortfalls - how else do you explain $400 dollar red light tickets!? Its insane.

Funny, I was driving home today, and saw someone try to "beat the red" and zoomed through the intersection right as the light turned red. Saw the camera flash, and he's in for a nasty surprise when he gets his mail in a few days.
Caught up to him at the next light. Of course, he was yapping on his cell and blissfully unaware of anything. Including life happening around him.
Oh well.

Love it! I can't wait to hear how mad he gets and unfairly treated he feels when he gets his bill
RE: cameras causing more accidents.. all you have to do is pay more attention!! if you look at the cross walk indicators they will tell you if a yellow is coming.. There is LOTS of data and dead bodies proving that t-bones are deadly!

I'm not a fan of speed cameras, but red light cameras absolutely.

I think they've turned off the red light cameras in LA now...and apparently there was never an enforceable penalty if you got a ticket in the mail. If you didn't pay, nothing happened to you.

Here is Calgary we have redlight cameras and "Speed on Green" cameras for those that speed up to get through a changing light.....
They are also putting on the street a "Noise Camera" to take photos of your vehicle if it blows more than 96 to 98 db..... one of the first in North America

I don't know how it works in your part of the country, but in Texas, there is a video available when you get caught running a red light. There's a link to said video on your ticket. Plus an officer reviews each case to make sure its a true red run, instead of getting caught because of traffic, or having to move because of an EMS vehicle, or what have you. People can and do turn right on red, but they have to come to a complete stop first. Which is the law anyway. I think the only people agains red light cameras are the chronic "above the law" types.
