Reply #7: So they're red light cameras?

[Lady Effingbroke]

I thought those (automated red light cameras) were illegal in many places, unless there are people monitoring the cameras who alert the police that "such-and-such model car with XYZ license plate number just ran a red light".

It figures that revenue plays a large part in their sudden appearance.

As soon as a new traffic light is installed, here come the cameras!
