Stop light cameras are a good idea.  They are there for safety
reasons.  Photo radar is a cash cow.  There are no proven benefits
from photo radar other than the fact that the gov't makes a killing.
They tried it in Ontario but it didn't go over very well.  It works in
Europe because they put it in high accident areas.  NA politicians
corrupted the idea.
