Voting against Red Light cameras needs to be done. I would think that Red Light cameras would cause more accidents due to individuals slamming on brakes to avoid getting a ticket and causing others to slam into them from behind. I also agree with WildcatterProd, that they are unconstitutional and are unAmerican due to no due process.

A comprehensive study of the effects of Red Light Cameras was conducted by Rice University. The conclusion was clear: the Red Light Camera system has a negative impact on traffic safety. Aside from the the dangers it creates for drivers; it is an "Orwellian" attempt to erode cival liberties and our right to privacy. American citizens are constitutionaly gaurunteed the right to due process of law - which means a right to face your accuser - impossible when dealing with a computer.

If the red light cameras are allowed to stay it will be the first step toward employing computers and robots to monitor or every move and activity. This is not about law enforcement, it is about making money. This is a mockery of our right to due process of law. I will vote NO to Red Light Cameras!

There isn't a doubt in my mind that I am against the red light cameras. This guy that is for the red light cameras keeps repeating himself and he cares about making money. At the end he wanted to know why his partner is making more money that him. Red Light Cameras are a bad thing because people are going to be rear-ended and there is too much manipulation from big brother. The person doesn't get the ticket, but the person who owns the car. What are your thoughts Houston?
