One is still free to run red lights...but its going to be alot harder to do that and not pay the consequences.

Yes and police officers who are not on a call, Metro bus drivers, school bus drivers, and plenty of other people on the public workforce are learning this and being finally asked to pay THEIR fines. You see, the private company that runs such cameras doesn't care WHO the violator is. They want their cut.

And I see that as a good thing. No one is exempt from the law.

Again...a good thing.

Government doing something more efficiently by parsing out a functional part of its duties to private industry...thats a bad thing?

Or is this all just birthed from a fear that cameras at stoplights will also eventually morph into a more efficient way to prosecute speeders too? (thus infringing upon our "right" to speed) :)
