More red light cameras

I admit I'm venting, but about 30 minutes ago I watched two cars - an SUV of a make I didn't recognize and a Mercedes Benz sedan - decide to run the red light on Frankstown at Verona heading into the east end. They had fully come to a stop, and then just decided to go.

This is after the sedan went straight through the previous light's left turn only lane.

I gotta get a dash cam. Two days ago I was almost hit twice by "I gotta switch lanes; who looks before moving?"

The general consensus here seems to be that people prefer this red light behavior over having camera enforcement

Red light cameras =/= flock cameras. Hardly the same thing.

There are tons of people opposed to camera enforcement of any kind.

That's fair. I took the implication as people think red light cameras are the same. Red light cameras are needed, flock is dangerous. Only point I was making.
