My example is an edge case, but I was once waiting to turn left at a sensor activated red light that refused to turn despite no other cars being near the intersection. I even went in reverse and then forward again to see if the light would change. After waiting a minute or so I just decided to go. I definitely would've been more upset if I had to fight to get a ticket correction had there been a red light camera installed. To try and generalize a little bit, punishing people first without taking into consideration special circumstances can potentially cause more problems than they may solve.
