If those camera’s save on life it is worth it.
I understand your emotion I disagree. Public policy -- much less laws and regulations -- cannot ethically or morally be supported, implemented or enforced based on your simplistic rationale.
No it isn’t.
I seriously doubt that...
Considering many red light cities decrease the yellow light timing to increase tickets and revenue...and accidents as a unintended consequence.
How many people are seriously injured by being rear ended by someone thinking they may get a high ticket fine by slamming on their brakes at a early yellow light.
Also if someone borrows your car and gets a red light ticket, you the owner are on the hook...
They should team the red light cameras to catch people smoking dope and playing with their cell phones!
Burn them all!
Consider this reality and red light cameras. Your car, your license plate, and you as the owner gets the ticket. Even if someone else is the one who was driving your car you are the one guilty of running a red light whether you were physically there or not because you are the owner of the car.
You will suffer all the consequences of points on your license, higher insurance rates, Etc. Even though it was not you. Now if it was an officer who physically detains you this possibility is just not there, whoever actually ran the light will get the ticket to their own license and you are not guilty of anything as it should be.
Would you consider this to be an acceptable personal sacrifice on your part to make folks safer?
Oh please.
If those camera’s save on life it is worth it.
no they are not worth it
LOL.
Longer yellows and longer red wait times save far more lives than cameras. Besides, when you run a red light with camera in place it is often 2 to 3 weeks before you get a ticket. During that time your driving patterns remain the same. Fine revenue increases for the city and premiums increase for the insurance companies.
