Where I live red light cameras are triggering all the time when people clearly aren't breaking the law. For instance the red light camera near me is notorious for flashing cars coming to a stop too quickly at a red light. It will also incorrectly flash you if you're making a right hand turn on red every once in awhile. The problem isn't with automation per se, its with the fact incorrect judgements cost time and money to everyone involved.

Photo reviewed - was a person turning legally, no fine issued. There's a red light camera near me that frequently flashes the end-of-sequence people turning, but they're not getting tickets for that. There is, however, a different issue in my state - thousands of speeding tickets have been declared null and void because the police couldn't prove that the speed cameras were correctly calibrated.
