“I just want people to stop running the damn red lights.”
Perhaps having a cop there to hand out tickets might accomplish this. BUT having a cop do that doesn’t provide the same revenue. Its not about safety or the children. Its about money.
Well, I'd rather have those cops fighting real crime, then going through the rigmarole of writing out tickets for moving violations.
What's the big damn deal about this? Obey the law and don't run red lights. IMO...I see no rights infringed by the stop light cameras. This is more of a tool being used for law enforcement, not a nanny state surveillance/NWO-like purpose. One is still free to run red lights...but its going to be alot harder to do that and not pay the consequences.
