I looked at the photographs used in one case and there was no way to identify the driver..."

The redlight-runners at Davis Road and US1 in Miami have their faces obscured by cellphones! Stopped at the light on my way from work, I watched these violations for years until FL DOT moved the stop line back on US1 and delayed the US1 yellow—slowing all rush-hour traffic in both directions.

As the minority opinion here, I'd like to see a one-year study done where red-light cameras effectiveness are proved one way or another.

It's not a solution looking for a problem.

Indications are that cameras increase the number of rear-ending accidents and that municipalities reduce yellow light times to maximize revenue. Oh, and that in most cases, you can reduce problems more by adding a second or so to the yellow cycle, than by adding cameras to the intersection.
