I wholeheartedly agree with you Brad, the red light cameras are a good
idea, the photo radar is something different that I don't agree with.  I
remember watching a news show about this new red light cameras and seeing
a TON of footage released from england of wrecks caught by the cameras
because of people running the red lights.  Its just damn dangerous, and if
these cameras make it a little safer for those of us who do obey traffic
signals, then I'm behind them.
