The places that put them in claim that they were done so for safety, but statistics show that rear end collisions at them increase incredibly because people slam on their brakes to avoid getting a ticket and get rear ended by those not familiar with them. I hear that over in Chicago, they have them virtually at every intersection to take the safety fines all the way to the bank, and even though Chicago got caught shaving the time for yellow lights to increase the amount of tickets, they refuse to refund anyone's money. I've seen them while out and about around the country and refuse to make a turn on red even after coming to a complete stop and waiting. People can honk, I'm not turning on red if there is a camera. Forget it, no $$$ from me into anyone's political coffers. When I lived in Illinois, they were going up all over the place, and working on the telephone systems at several police departments, what I saw were people being hired JUST to deal with red light camera tickets alone...new, separate windows just for that. But, a lot of towns also had them removed because the towns people were threatening the lives and jobs of politicians. One place when I lived in Illinois was a town called Shaumburg. They put one up at an exit of a nearby tollway, and people were slamming on their brakes while coming off exit ramps to avoid getting tickets, causing some serious, deadly accidents that got people boycotting a nearby super duper mall, revenue generator for Shaumburg that got to the point where the mall went after the village and forced them to take it/them out...or else politicians careers would be ended. They pulled them out.
I saw cameras at an intersection a few miles from me in rural Indiana where I shop just yesterday, but they weren't marked as red light cameras, which they have to be. Four cameras at an intersection recently annexed by an overreaching town, but they didn't say anything about being red light. I looked. They day they become red light cameras, I'm going to find somewhere else to shop, and encourage as many people as I can get to listen to me to do the same thing until they are taken down.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
