I also support traffic cameras for intersections... give you tickets out to drivers going through red lights ,, also give tickets out for speeders. just send them automatic through the mail.

I don't support that.

If they get your license plate they haven't proved that you committed any crime. They don't know that you where the driver. Also in some jurisdictions they reduced the length of yellow lights to try and get more revenue from these systems. That probably makes things more dangerous not less. Then there is the fact that as long as speed limits are often too low I can't really support aggressive action on enforcing them. Maybe having cameras that give tickets to people going massively over the speed limit and ignore everyone else, but I doubt that once the cameras are up that they will stick to this limit (assuming it was ever accepted in the first place which probably isn't likely)
