Red Light Camera Activism
This puzzles me.
The death of Mark Wandall was tragic. But it was caused by distracted driving.
From the article:
The motorist who hit Mark's vehicle was distracted by talking with a child in the car's back seat.
No amount of red light cameras will prevent people from being distracted while driving. I believe red-light cameras and speeding cameras are a money grab. This is a for-profit service offered to local governments by private companies. I have trouble with the concept of law enforcement for profit. Don't we prosecute police officers for that?
