Red light camera, a good tool? or profit machine?

Personally - I could care less on how many of them they put out there. I'm not in that much of a hurry anymore to get anywhere when I'm in town. Plus I can make it up on the interstate -

Seriously though - I say put them at every light and let the idiots fund more projects. Plus - one thing I do like about them is they cut down on the idiots blocking intersections during morning and afternoon rush hours.

If you have had them in your city long enough, I can hardly see any of you in favor of them that are touting them. They are calibrated by the company not the city and the company generates their revenues by the amount of tickets it issues. Conflict of interest? How about where they are in the Phoenix area, they give you one speed limit sign that drops you down 10 mph. Lets say you miss it because a big rig is in the way...too bad. These camera's are set up everywhere to trap you not to make driving safe. In between them people do 100 mph then slam on their breaks.

BTW, I have never gotten one but they are annoying as hell!!!
