a scenario where mandatory RLC and speed cameras would be beneficial
Nobody disputes that the technology is affordable, and accurate.
There seems to be a debate upon whether they are Constitutional, and merely revenue generators.

fines--crimes fit the punishment?
I am all for rlcs--they do not lie, and kinda stop the BS that people use to justify running lights. Again we can argue till we're blue in the face, I know of intersections where 4-5 cars blow the light after it's gone red, day in, day out, on my commute. I also know of ones where everyone for the most part now stops, since rlcs were installed.

Can't renew your license plate (Florida)? Here's why.
You loan your vehicle to a friend, friend gets ticket, you sign affidavit showing him as driver, he doesn't pay the fine, and then the state won't renew your tag. Well, not without some intervention anyway.

They've been doing this for some time now
This is an alternate to Red Light cams. Bright Blue lights that are placed above the traffic light and are bright blue for 360° when that light is Red. Don't need a camera, but you do need a police officer there to see it.
