"Unpaid red light camera violations -- a system in place since 2009 -- were at $10 million at the end of 2011, Maragos said.
"Most concerning," Maragos said in Tuesday's news release, is that unpaid red light camera tickets grew from 7,884 at the end of 2009 to 107,841 by the end of last year."
The red light cameras are outsourced to a company in AZ, and the county gets a cut of the funds.
This is what pisses me off the most! "Safety" enforcement shouldn't be a profit maker for private entities, tells you right there, that there is something wrong with the equation.

I don't think anyone but politicians tried saying it was for "safety" ... Personally, I'm all for them, I don't care who gets the money, just as long as the morons who think they pulling a fast one on people have to pay SOMETHING.
I notice it appears there are even more red light cameras in my area. Within a 2 mile radius, i think there is a whopping 9 to maybe 11 red light cameras on this northern blvd. One on Searingtown rd, shelter rock road & community drive is the newest addition I believe.
I'd read they want to put speeding cameras too but the unions making a stink about this one

Nothing about these cameras is about safety, its all a revenue grab by the counties.
I almost caused an accident last week because I was so nervous about the possibility of a red light camera. I think they're going to cause a lot more accidents.
published reports with statistics is pretty adamant that it reduces accidents in most cases.
I have to admit it makes me nervous too. Some lights really changes very quickly. I have to admit my car once skidded pretty hard once after seeing it flip to red.....to be fair, the pavement was a little wet.
