In response to "I'm on the fence about them. I don't have a problem with camera enforcement in principle but municipalities often game them" by Reagen

If they shorten the yellow to catch people that's very wrong and undermines the initiative. It should only be about safety and not turning people - Krusty Jun 4, 07:49 4

  - krusty, I am sorry, but you are wrong on all counts here. -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 07:57 1
    - I'm not because our numbers show a drop in accidents where the cameras were installed. -- nm - Krusty Jun 4, 08:00
Then the problem is not the lights themselves, but the way cities use them. If you're gonna make a law, might as well make one that fixes that -- nm - Guigue Jun 4, 07:48
They are usually third party administered, too. Stop turning law enforcement into a profit center, it just encourages enforcement abuse. -- nm - TWuG Jun 4, 07:45 1
- I think they all are 3rd party administered. And I agree 100% with the whole "ticketing the car" situation. nm - Hercules Mulligan Jun 4, 07:46
