Listed next to his or her name, you’ll find the amount donated from a company called American Traffic Solutions, Inc. based in Scottsdale, AZ. They’ve donated $28,000 to elected officials in Florida in 2010 alone.

Well, I am not a politician so my comment has not conflict of interest. To me cameras are effective and have saved lives.
When cameras were put in some intersections that had numerous accidents and some deaths the incidents were greatly reduced.
A year after they were put in place the number of tickets, accidents, etc. were brought up for all to see and the number do not lie in this case.
