- tomrod 5y ago> I'm going to bet that these problems can be largely overcome Many could be improved as technical systems, but trust in red light cameras and similar automated solutions isn't high. Good luck reverting many US states that have all but outlawed them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_light_camera#Decrease_since_2012_in_the_USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_light_camera#Decrease_sinc... Most organizations have three things: people, policy, and technology. Pissing off the people with technology gets a lot of backlash.
