The Red Light Cameras cost more to operate and use than the City makes in revenue from them. In Abq at Red Light ticket is a 100$ fine. The company gets about 80% of that leaving the remaining to the city to pay for any expenses it takes for the Person to recieve the ticket. ( Our cameras record Speed, Red Light Runners and Tailgaters )

Traffic cameras cause changes in traffic speed, rapid slowdowns/speedups before/after the camera - which simply cannot be safe. Some flash bright camera flashes at drivers after dark... how the hell is that safe?
To anyone who thinks "if you're doing nothing wrong, why would you mind surveillance?", I say, poop. Pooping isn't wrong, would you mind people watching you poop? Or make love? Making love isn't wrong, so surely you wouldn't mind people watching right? Right?

HAHA great stunt. WSJ stated the private operators make $5k / cam. Last I heard tho, it was 50%, with each cam bringing $50k-$100k / yr. All cams do is divert traffic around the site. And the city has no incentive to improve, but just bleed more from residents.
The cameras cause rear-end collisions because people slam their brakes on to avoid the exorbitant tickets and don't flow with traffic. The cameras are NOT about safety - They are about making money for the city while letting cops spend more time at the doughnut shop. The camera company gets like $75.00 per ticket, so if you don't understand Americans it's best you stay the fuck over there in merry old England.

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!! I am SICK AND FUCKING TIRED OF COPS PULLING PEOPLE OVER TO GAIN FUCKNG REVENUE FOR THE CITY AND STATE!!!, they should replace the to "serve and protect" to "enslave and tax". I have a warrant out for my arrest right now because a prick cop wrote me a ticket for going 76 while I was trying to get to work, because I was late, and I didn't want to loose my job. WELL COME AND GET ME MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
