Red light cameras are nothing more than a tax on local drivers and, as usual, that burden falls most on minorities.
I was the victim of a car crash because some selfish asshole did not respect the red light.
I understand your frustration. I really do. Nobody likes to get tickets. But I think it's better for everyone to ensure people respect driving rules. Driving isn't a game. It requires discipline and focus. Red light cameras are a fine on those who don't pay enough attention / break the law.
In my state those cameras are a scam and are not really enforceable. Plus they're total shit you'll get one while not breaking any law.
You just went straight into hate for running red lights on a 2 week old account with over 800 posts. Looks like a bot, smells like a bot.

I'm not a bot. I'm just posting an absolute shit-ton of content because I want to support Lemmy.
Hi im evidence, i have gotten one for turning right on red in the turning lane. Camera said i was in the straight lane, their pictures even proved it i was in fact in the turning lane.
The cost of repairing their car from an accident won't stop them, a ticket won't either. All it does is punish local drivers making moves that no actual officer would actually ticket for (like turning right on a red with no pedestrians present).
I seen a car just ram a through red light hitting civilians at high speed, captured live on stream, in Chicago.
