It is understandable why red light runners would not want the cameras back, But, studies and statistics have shown photo enforcement reduces dangerous intersection fatalities, by red light runner's, by about 28%, It's not about pedestrians, these cameras for intersection safety, and about reducing car crashes and related fatalities, caused by red light runners
If you're worried about being rear ended - check your mirror and then tap your brakes a few times, This is a heads up to the speeder behind you that you do not intend to run the red light, even if he thought he would.
