Engineering360: "Study: Red-light Cameras Don't Prevent Car Accidents"

I believe you will find that pro-red light camera people will show you data that the cameras improve safety and the anti-red light camera people will show you that the cameras decrease safety.

There is no question that local governments love the easy money.

Sociology 101 - People become more paranoid when they know BIG BROTHER is watching (and recording), resulting in un-intended 'group herd' reactions and evasions.

Red light cameras are only good for providing extra income to local governments, and body shops, from all the read-ending fender-benders when people slam the brake at a yellow light.
