I would favor the traffic cameras if the $$$ incentive was removed. The light-runner should be penalized, but if nobody benefits financially then there would be no reason for the city to "cheat".
Make violators stand in a court house corner for 8 hours on their day off. Perhaps wearing a dunce cap. That would suck far more than being fined $90.00 and there would be no reasons to play games with the lights.

They are mandated to run a minimum of 6 hours and the tests can be impossible to fail if the instructor so chooses.
It is essentially a time out in the penalty box for being a "bad boy".

I've found that if you take off from a downtown light when it turns green and drive 88 mph, you can make four lights before you have to stop.
