...and the point really is, what persons living in any city in these United States, would allow city government the license to install any of these devices in their town. You have just solved the local police PR problem at great personal expense, and relieved the police to catch others breaking traffic rules. Sort of like killing two sturds with one bone. If the populace fails to keep in check the numbers, policy, and direction of its law enforcement agencies, they have only themselves to blame. Or to put it another way, this is a classic definition of "easy money", and you foot the bill for the expensive camera system to begin with.
It's off topic, but do you know that those red-light cameras are tested withstand gunfire? I understand they can absorb a .308 bullet or a 12 guage slug and keep on ticking. I guess this story shows us why!;)
