Red light cameras are not revenue raisers, these are not to be confused with speed cameras.

I fully support the use of red light cameras.

after being hit myself by a red light runner, i fully support red light cameras weather they just ping you for running the light OR for speeding.(ie, speeding up to make it through an amber light etc)

i'll even support speed cameras on dangerous sections of road

its the speed cameras cunningly hidden, or on a open, straight road etc, that get up my goat

Spray painting the lens with Flat black Spray paint would be the way to go, That way it still takes Photos but when they Look at the Photos it will just show nothing but a Black Spot. LMAO

I hate Red light Cameras cause when you come up to a intersection with one, the Light’s always change at that threshold where you ether need to jump on the anchors to stop in time, or dump the right Boot to get throe.
