Shall we have an ALERT ~ ALERT~! for people who claim to be conservatives, yet support and applaud using the criminal justice system as a revenue raiser?
Better to raise revenues off the criminals than the honest people.
False choice. The Red Light cameras (when correctly used) have been proven to decrease the overall number and severity of accidents. A bunch of people around here like to parse things like Clinton did. They point out one line from a study that says they slightly increase the number of rear end accidents. True, however, they totally ignore that in the same studies they say greatly DECREASE the number of T-bone accidents. T-bone accidents are on average much more severe and more costly than rear end accidents.
If Red Light cameras are no good, why not get rid of traffic signals altogether. After all, they infringe on a persons “right” to drive where they want, when they want.
