What is ironic here is that here in the UK, most of the cameras are obviously only here to make money, such as a stretch of our M4 motorway near Reading where there are apparently about 10 miles of roadworks with 3 lanes still open, yet despite the fact one can safely drive 70 mph on any other 2 lane road, they have imposed a 50mph speed limit heavily enforced by cameras. Now the cracker here is that there are never any workmen there and no reason for the limit at all. HOWEVER, I do fully support red light cameras and this is why I find this person's protect odd. When I lived in the USA, there were many deaths due to boy racers crossing red lights with terrible consequences. Driving a little over the speed limit during safe conditions is not the same as crossing right in the pass of other vehicles or running over people! As general comment to my American friends, the UK is on a very very dangerous downhill slope and please do not adopt our appalling lack of civil liberties and loss of common sense and respect. (Tony Blair is not the hero you think he is. He has ruined this country and I am disgusted.)

Sorry, my use of English in my previous posting was terrible! Typed the above in a hurry using my Apple Bluetooth keyboard which for some reason, makes typing somewhat unreliable. Going to dump it and get a Saitek Eclipse with backlit keys as it's much nicer to type on. Dear Apple, Please make your keys much lighter in your next full size keyboard. :-)

You miss the point entirely with your support of red light cameras.
Anyone willing to risk their life by blowing a red light will still blow the light if they are only risking 90$

However i agree with you about the cameras being about making money. That is all they are about as the Northwood police patrol the same places where the cameras are located and often times will double ticket people for speeding or blowing the red lights. (the cameras catch both)
