Red Light Cameras

I just heard the city is losing money on running those red light cameras around the city. Seems that people are actually obeying the law of running a red light. I see people slowing down when they get to one of those intersections. Once thru there they go speeding off. That's ok as they took the speeding tickets away from the red light. You'll get ticketed if you run any of those red light intersections. I think that may also be the reason for not getting enough money to run those things. No speeding tickets.
Tonight the City Council is voting on whether to let the public vote on the red light cameras or just leave it to them to decide what to do. They're afraid the people are going to vote it away. But there are people that are wanting it to stay. It keeps people in line.
Me? I use the public transportation so I don't have to worry about getting a ticket for those intersections. They had to remove some of those cameras as they were supposedly located on state highways and that's against the law. So any that were on Paseo Del Norte or Coors Rd are gone!! And those were their top money makers!! Guess that's another reason they're having money problems with them. Wow!
We'll see what happens.
