Hi Ms. Dean,
IF the lights were actually timed for maximum safety/minimum violations and the enforcement rules were set up to ticket only dangerous drivers - no one would object to red light cameras.  But camera systems designed that way won't collect anywhere close to enough fines to even cover their own costs - and cities won't use cameras that are a large cost item in their budgets.  In almost every case, when the timing and rules are changed to ticket only the bad drivers and the cameras begin to lose serious money - the cameras get removed.
