Red Light cameras are at worst borderline criminal and at best unsafe. At our intersections with RLCs we have had more accidents than we did without them. Because California ass f­uc­ks you with the ticket (360 to 400 dollars) people are inclined to slam on their breaks to avoid crossing that cross walk. I got one the first year I was driving. 6 am, heading to a local fishing lake for the day. Doing the speed limit, and the road was totally empty. I am approaching the light and it goes yellow, and before I have time to react it goes red and there I am in the intersection, bam flash. Nothing I could do. Had I slammed on my breaks, I would have skidded into the intersection anyway. Ruined my, well, whole month. Got sent an expensive ass ticket, had to go to traffic school. They are nothing but a revenue generation racket for the city. They don't make thing safer. They are just designed to bend us over backwards and -blam!- us of our money. Californians used to be able to fight these tickets. The best defence was, "I want to face my accuser." Unless a representative wanted to fly out from Arizona to testify, you usually would have the ticket dismissed. Not any more however. California put a stop to that because, "MUH TAX MONEH!" Seriously, this whole state can go f­uc­k it's self. God knows it already jacks off to the thought of f­uc­king the people who live here.
