Their sole purpose is revenue generation and not actual safety or law enforcement.

The article stated there was a drop in accidents and tickets since the programs inception. Was the mayor and police chief disappointed? I would call this a failed attempt at generating revenue.

Soon we’ll be under surveilance from the time we are born until we die. Those cameras will mostly be used to modify our behavior on things the government doesnt like.

To my knowledge...these cameras do not reside on private property.

A drop in the tickets generated at these intersections.

“To my knowledge...these cameras do not reside on private property.”

And that makes it right? In one place the school pipes camera video straight into the police station. In South Florida they are installing speakers to advise citizens when their behavior is incorrect.

Sounds perfectly Orwellian to me.
