Red light cameras: efficient way to keep people safe or gratuitous way to extract funds from citizens?

Gratuitous fundular extraction. Speeding cameras are more justifiable and also a far-better band name than either 'red light cameras' or 'gratuitous fundular extraction'.

QOTD suggestion: Would the political criterion "is it a good band name?" identify better social outcomes than whatever criterion is used by Kansas' voters?

Haven't seen any data yet about whether they reduce light-running. But in the mean time I hate them.

gratuitious fund extraction with the added benefit of big brother in action! not only do they send you a bill for doing something everyone does - but they're also able to locate our vehicles at any time!

As a current non driver, I would rather not get run over by someone running a red light. So yay Red Light Cameras!
