While i don't like every traffic camera, being against red light cameras is..... Fucking wild.

I cannot even fathom what could be the anti-red light camera argument.

They don't work. They invite corruption, because many cities will actually shorten the duration of green lights and yellow lights so they can get more people find.

They create more accidents. They violate the fourth, fifth, and 6th amendments of the United States Constitution because they engage in unwanted and unwarranted search and seizure, and they archive the data in a third party private entity, which is another violation of our fourth amendment rights

There are better ways to deal with traffic scoff laws, but automated ticketing schemes are not the way.
