Red light cameras too good for their own good?

[Roon]

Last week, Dallas officials reviewed the numbers and decided that a quarter of the cameras they had installed to catch motorists running red lights were too effective. So they shut them down.

They are not alone. Faced with data showing that drivers pay attention to cameras at intersections — resulting in fewer ticketable violations and ever-shrinking revenue from fines — municipalities across the country are reconsidering red light cameras, which often work too well.

This is soooo stupid!! They would rather make money than save lives. This almost sounds like an onion piece, but it's real.

2. Wow

When traffic cameras are installed, people scream "BIG BROTHER!!!"

When they're taken away, suddenly it's about being cheap — too cheap to continue losing money, in fact, and in at least two cases taking money away from schools.

Guess it's too much to ask of people to just obey the fucking law to prevent accidents.
