Do you have a source for that? I'm as cynical as the next guy about the motivations for red light cameras but that just sounds like paranoia.
- kefka 14y agoTh source, unfortunately, was a link from HN a few years ago. IIRC it was either Phoenix, AZ or somewhere around that area that started playing with reactive red light cameras. Essentially, it would watch for speeders prior to the intersection, and it would turn red before you could legcally cross the intersection. Then, it would ding you for a RLV.
- vacri 14y agoThat's an abuse of power problem, not an issue with RLC per se.
