Yep, it's a revenue-grabber. A camera does nothing to stop the behavior it records ... a maniac driving at 100 mph and blowing through every red light in town is free to continue doing so. He/she just gets a bunch of fines in the mail two weeks later. The cameras are used to justify drastic cutting of the police force. Government lackeys have confused recording violations of the law with enforcing it. Too bad for the law-abiding.

I've also read about the studies that confirm that adding a couple of seconds to yellow lights would solve the problem ... and not result in the increased number of rear-end collisions seen after cameras are installed.
