text: Red light cameras... for all those complaining about them, your probably one of the reasons they are needed. I don't own a car i take the bus or walk everywhere, so I encounter red light runners constantly. They are always in a rush to get some where faster and quicker than the next guy. I have had quite a few close calls by drivers intent on "making" the light. So I totally support the cameras, it makes me feel just a little bit safer crossing the street.
