Rochester has just installed 3 red light cameras in the city. The kind that take a picture of your car if you run a light and send you a ticket. They are in the "grace period" right now, where you just get a warning. They will go real next week.
Do any of you have them in your towns? How are they working? What do you think?
Some folks are complaining..that they are too big brotherish. I do not think so. I have almost got T-boned a few times by cars running lights.
But I have an unanswered question. Here in NY we have the "right on red after stop law." Meaning you can legally make a right turn on a red light if traffic is clear. Would these cameras tag you for that? On that note...I see the biggest problem around here is the assholes who will turn on red, while there is still traffic, causing people to slam on their brakes to avoid them. I wish those people would get nailed.
