My redlight camera story, I hope you all enjoy
I moved from North Arlington Tx, to South Arlington Tx about 2 years ago, I never took much notice of all the red light cameras in the city, I'm not one to blow red lights, so I didn't have much of an opinion either way.
So, like I was saying, I moved to South Arlington, and about once or twice a week, I will go to buy our milk at Braums.

City admits "We just want the money"
The City of Toledo (OH) will install up to 44 additional speed/red light cameras (11 intersections) just to fund a recreation program. I love the phrase "this year AND BEYOND."
At least they are honest and not throwing out the 'safety of the citizens' line of hooey.
Here's the story from the Toledo Blade newspaper 01/24/12:

The Snohomish County Superior Court on Thursday found Monroe, Washington liable for a fine of up to $10,000 for denying photo enforcement opponents access to the ballot. Although two-thirds of voters in the city voted against the use of red light cameras and speed cameras in November, they were only allowed to consider a measure crafted by Mayor Robert Zimmerman.

Camera predicts red light runner
This would be interesting technology if it could work as advertised.
"In addition to photographing those who run red lights and violate the speed limit, Hargadine said this particular camera technology can predict when a vehicle will run through an intersection and prevent the opposing signals from turning green. That technology could cut down on crashes and property damage and save lives"

Police ticketing fewer drivers
This was in the Chicago Tribune today.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-ticket-drop-...
While I was reading it, I couldn't help but think that the reason police are writing fewer tickets, is because of the explosion of ATEs in the Chicagoland area.
The newest version of traffic enforcement cameras debut in France.
