It's my understanding that the cameras are provided by a private company for which the city of Houston has a contract with. This private company recieves a certain amount of money from the city of Houston which the city uses the revenue from the violations issued to make payment on that contract. While I do NOT agree with the cameras I do wish I would have thought of this way to make money! A private company is providing a service for which they're paid for. Sounds like capitalism to me. The ill will surfaces when a government entity profits from the service as well. Bottom line is this, if folks would obey the law the cameras would be nothing more than another waste of taxpayers money by the governemnt. For that I think we all agree. See the Nov 2nd election results.

Personally, I don't run red lights. I don't roll through red lights to turn right on red. I don't roll through stop signs. I obey the posted speed limits as much as I can as to not cause a traffic hazard. This goes back to my Creator's instructions to obey man's law.
