There is a debate going on in my area about the red light cameras. One county turned them off due to the decrease in violations and accidents since the cameras were installed. The logic is we don't need them since incidents are down.
Did it ever occur to anyone that they are down BECAUSE they are there????? DUH!?!?!? People didn't all of a sudden come to an epiphany that they should slow down at intersections to avoid going through red lights that often times cause accidents, or there wouldn't have been so many incidents in the first place. People slowed down and stopped running so they wouldn't have to PAY when caught doing it which just happens to be cutting down on the accidents. The counties get grief from people that get fines and they are pretty steep, so they scream that they are only there for revenue, how about this....................stop breaking the law ASSHOLES!!!!
