> [@Red00WS6](#): > > Well, how do they get you, front plate or back plate? I have my front covered 🙂 I think both. Its more than one picture from any I have actually seen. If you are running read lights on a bike, they probably wont send you a ticket and just let darwin run its course. ---

Damn it, why haven’t they instituted the automatic killing of any legislation that both me and JayS disagree with yet? It needs to be called the Bipartisan Common Sense Act or something. ---

Phoenix has had them for years, they are starting to take down some of them because they were causing more rear end accidents… But they still have a ton of them up. Fines are $193… Its somewhat OK there, because there is no snow. When you start doing this in blizzards in shitty buffalo, it is going to be a huge safety hazard. I have never received a ticket for a red light run, but I have run red lights in buffalo when I’m going fast, and the roads are too icy to stop in time. Should I jam on the brakes, and throw my car into the ditch? ---

> [@JustinH](#): > > Should I jam on the brakes, and throw my car into the ditch? No, you should drive at a speed appropriate for the conditions, which means being able to stop for a red light. I don’t have any problem with the idea of giving people tickets for running red lights. I don’t even have a problem with the idea of the traffic camera. I cringe but can get over the whole guilty until proven innocent thing as long as a human has to approve the picture ticket before it’s sent out. What pisses me off is that every city that installs these eventually “tweaks” them to generate more revenue, either by reducing the time of the yellow or reducing the grace period (so you’re not ticketing the guy who was under the light when it changed). Buffalo isn’t even trying to claim it’s about safety because they’re coming right out and talking about how much revenue they hope it will bring in. Doing that you know they’ll be setting them up generate as many tickets as possible. > [@ubengineering](#): > Proven totally ineffective by Myth Busters. ---

I think we should get every NY state resident to MOVE out of the state, and tell NY that we won’t move back in until they figure their shit out ---

Have fun paying some of the highest taxes in the country, along with one of the lowest job markets, the highest fuel prices, the lowest number to clear days, and now red light cameras! Ha there goes %50 of your pay. ---

We have the red light cameras in Vegas but it’s optional to have front plates here so I’m not sure how many people get busted. My friend works for the company that monitors them and said they’re actually used to monitor traffic patterns and change the signal length to keep things moving nicely. I wonder if they’d do something similar in Buffalo? ---
