Do you really need a $350 fine to persuade you not to run a red light. I know the real motivation is not colliding with whoever might be travelling in the opposite direction. So whats the real motivation of having a camera. It might be a misguided belief that more people will stop but I have my doubts.
I remember reading in the OC register one time about how much money the camera makes daily in San Juan Capistrano (got me one time). I don’t remember but it was unbelievable.
Everyone wants a simple fix to have the perfect world but it doesn’t work that way. Regardless of the laws passed and different means of enforcing them, the same percentage of people are going to do good as well as the percentage of people doing bad.
How many people make 35k a year? We need to fine them 10% of their monthly pretax income to get their attention. I don’t think so. It’s crazy.
