Well I technically agree with the concept of red light cameras.
Although I have often wondered how much energy (gas + wear and tear) would be saved if MOST Stop signs were changed to yield. In my neighborhood the town went crazy and just about every intersection has stop signs. Some 4 way, some 2 way.
What I object to is things like IL law states that a Muni MUST prove that the intersection where a camera is being placed has a high percentage of certain types of accidents (t-bones and or deaths etc) yet most do not.
Several that the Muni "provided" data for were shown to not match corresponding state data.
This was all reported in the Tribune, which did an extensive study of the subject.
They found that most were being placed based on revenue NOT safety.
