>I guess the difference is that it improves road safety I don't think this is necessarily true for red light cameras. Many studies have shown that they lead to more fatalities and more collisions (fewer people getting T-boned when they run red lights, offset by more people getting rear ended when they slam on the brakes so they don't get a ticket). Other studies have also found that cameras reduce collisions and deaths, so I think to some extent it's still an open question and the answer may vary in different locations.
