Probably not almost killing someone. Red light cameras mostly get people who just missed the yellow, and most municipalities have a time frame when all lights are red. The cameras are just the government taking an ownership mentality to us, they don’t stop the dangerous red light runners, and they don’t save lives.

how would you feel about a camera in the restroom to make sure you wash your hands for a full 10 secs See the movie Demolition Man.

He didn't
just go through a red light. He single-handedly broke the Gaza blockade
and mowed down an entire family of care-bears and Unicorns who were "just turning their lives around".
Then he reversed gears and ran over the cure for cancer. The effrontery of the man!

It's OK for the local government to take money from legitimate citizens, for alleged safety purposes, yet government at all levels, stands by and watches and even aids and abets a violent illegal invasion of millions?
A violent invasion which has left hundreds of thousands of Americans dead or harmed by this violent invasion?

I’ve read that rear-end collisions are being caused by these cameras. Do you think we can conclude they’re money makers and not for traffic safety?

I wasn't aware that speeding, hence endangering the lives of others, was a "civil liberty". That's because you live in Seattle where it's considered right and proper to call the city hotline to report speeders. Hence the multitude of "Report Speeders" signs posted along the highways around there.

We have those cameras in our town. If you stop with your bumper over the white line, you get a ticket. Yesterday, I was ridding with my daughter who only has a learners permit. We came upon one of those intersections and the light turned yellow when we were far too close to stop. My daughter practically skidded trying to stop in time while the car behind us was inches away trying to avoid hitting us. I ask her why she did that and she said, “ It’s one of those that takes your picture.” I feel those are actually MORE likely to cause a crash.

Red light cameras are not about safety. They are about revenue.
Post a cop at the light and hand out tickets the old fashioned way.

They have to split the ticket money with a private corporation that makes and maintains the boxes. They don't have to. They could use union government employees to do all that. It's not like they're very busy. But instead of a 50% loss of ticket revenue, it would cost them 200% of revenue.

In any event, the City of Bluff City VA has instructed it's citizens to call Brian McCrary in the event they are about to be robbed, raped or murdered; young Brian will then be able to teach those who are truly victims the finer points of civil libertarianism.
People shouldn't report rapes, robbery, murders, aid calls, etc. via the web. That's what 9-1-1 is for.

Again, since young Brian McClary seems to think that police services are a joke, perhaps the people that are in need of them should call him.
To: ExTexasRedhead
I don’t think the cameras cause rear end collisions. It’s the people behind you that aren’t paying attention.
