The only people with anything to fear are the constantly terminally-poor drivers who regularly, as part of their normal driving habits, take chances at red lights.
You, as a law-abiding, 'normal' driver, have nothing at all to fear from cameras at dangerous junctions - nothing to fear and everything to gain.
Just imagine the situation where someone who ran a red light, then slammed into you. The camera would show what he'd done and all his protestations that it was YOU who had jumped YOUR light would be proven nonsense. You then win!
No, Randy ,my statement refers to ALL red light jumpers - they ALL get ticketed and some cameras can even show how long the light has been red, evidence of really dangerous driving.
I think you misunderstood my reply. Yes they all get tickets, but those that are not paying attention are in a different mindset than those just "trying to beat the light".
And we have more protections from unjust laws than you do in the UK. Our constitution makes sure that due process is applied to any legal action, no matter the intent behind the law.
