  As much as I am against most of the traffic BS that they do, I don't mind
the intersection cameras. There are far too many imbeciles out there who
run red lights that have been red for a few seconds. I was hit on my first
bike by a tow truck that decided that a light that had been red for 2
seconds was still OK to run. When I see people do that in front of me, I
get pretty steamed. Running red lights is very dangerous and stupid. And if
it takes traffic light cameras to convince people to stop, fine go for it,
and up the fines, maybe even call it reckless endangerment, and give them
some jail time.
