These things are fucking useless...There have been numerous surveys conducted concerning these cameras and while the surveys showed that opposite direction collisions were reduced, rear end collisions SKYROCKETED partly due to the fact that in most places where these cameras are installed, the time that the light is yellow is REDUCED. Generally from the standard 4 seconds to 3...

The legislative package would expand the current program in New York City (A.7328/Silver) and authorize local laws for the installation of cameras in Rochester (A.7332/Gantt), Buffalo (A.7331/Hoyt), Yonkers (A.7330/Spano), Nassau County (A.7329/Lavine) and Suffolk County (A.7333/Eddington).
Thank Patricia Eddington for that. Hooray Democrats

in New York, red light camera violations are treated like parking citations, the law can make registered vehicle owners responsible without regard to who was driving at the time of the offense.

Propaganda at it's finest....
