I agree, Randy + Lazarus.  I'm fed up with redlight-runners, such dangerously reckless drivers, and the minimal (NONdeterrent) penalties they get on the very rare occasions when there's a police officer close enough to nab them when they floor it through an intersection.  Repeat offenders just keep shooting through intersections...until they T-bone and cripple someone or worse. 
 

But when the public gets fed up with very dangerous drivers (red-light runners & drunk drivers) and tries to do more to catch & punish them, they & their excuse-makers will spout their "nanny state" hysteria and even object to increasing penalties because they don't want the Municipality to get any "income" from fines imposed on dangerous drivers, falsely claiming that those fines would be like a "tax" on everyone.


Well, I'm for photographing red-light runners in the act.  AND I'd favor increasing their wimpy monetary penalties by, say, $ix-fold for first-timers, twelve-fold for $econd-timers & . . . .
