how about electronic sensors that sense when someone is not braking when the light turns red? automatic TIRE SHREDDERS are deployed and bring the speed demon to a halt pronto along with a steel barricade that prevents the red light runner from entering the intersection. then a waste management garbage truck appears out of nowhere and picks up the worthless car and throws it into the back of the truck with the rest of the garbage. Another idiot off the streets.

That would be awesome. There should be a 18" thick big (solid) steel post that comes up from in the pavement about 1 second after the light goes red in front of each lane....at the most dangerous intersections. That way, only the law-breakers get killed. In PawoSD-topia this would be put into use!
