This is not about Big Brother.  This is about the lack of consideration and diligence that a person driving a vehicle must exercise...it's called responsibility and is supposed to be used by vehicle operators.

I agree that some of the lights around town are poorly coordinated, too long, or halt traffic when none is present from other directions.  However, that is no excuse for breaking the law by running a red light.  It's like the idiots who make a right turn on a red light...many time oncoming cars have to slam on their brakes.  Lack of attention and consideration...

You do raise a good point, however--with the amount of red light runners, there wold be a substantial amount of  cash incoming to the city.
