Obey traffic laws or pay the price
I disagree with your opinion that cameras should not be used to issue tickets for right-on-red failure to stop. Camera intersections are clearly marked, and motorists have every opportunity to obey traffic laws, especially when they know they're being watched. I believe even the mere notion that a camera is on should make drivers think twice about breaking laws, and when they decide to, they should pay the price.
Cautious drivers avoid accidents; drivers in a hurry are prone to them. They should put cameras at stop signs and see how much money they'll make. If drivers can't learn to follow the rules of the road, I have no sympathy for them.
