While collisions have gone up fatalities have gone down. No I can’t find the link where I read this. The conclusion was that the rear end collision when someone was trying to stop for a light was far less dangerous that someone getting T-boned by someone running a red light.

Because neck injuries (or even paralysis) are so much more encouraging.

Statistical garbage. They're not comparing apples to apples. Thousands run "red" lights, that is the very last second from yellow to red.

Now if someone runs a solid red light. That is a danger, but no camera is set to capture those egregious and truly dangerous violators because there's no money in it.
