I think your not looking at the big picture here! it is most likely the opposite of advocating to make it easier to violate traffic laws~~~ Its more about how traffic lights are supposedly suppose to protect us but,The overall reason which my husband and I believe is to collect cash from people~ Yes the lights work to protect us a bit but do you think that the police or government would ever vote to not have photo radar machines? of course they would not vote for that ever it's how they make $ and I am 100% for safety I really dislike those who speed and violate traffic laws but, I also think MIKE has a good point... about 4 months ago overnight all of a sudden there were flashing Orange lights when at a turn lane well you might think that is good for safety but actually because there was no warning and had never ever even been on the News or there for any kind of alert for these lights Many people were & are confused on what to do or when to go and it causes the driver to feel rushed because now the person behind you is getting furious that you slowed down when you could had kept on going in which I have witnessed more than several times where there was nearly an accident caused all because of impatience...I believe they cause more people to rage~~ And if people are the type to break traffic laws not any kind of light is going to stop them...Mike I feel was just simply showing us all that what is made to seem safe is not as we think it is... I by the way Hate the orange flashing lights and feel much more safe with having to come to a complete stop,While my husband who does experience road rage occasionally Welcomes those types of lights so he can just keep going without being stopped. He and I have way difference of opinions on those lights but totally agree that racking up tickets with photo radar is a positive for the police...And how bored would they be if zero people broke rules and was always precise on their driving....Anywho I Enjoyed this bit of info from Mike and wish I could see stats on how many accidents have occurred since the overnight installation of the orange flashing lights because I think there has probably been ton's. I want systems that show that our lives are worth something and more than just another day on the job. I think the problem can be sometimes when protecting people is your job even if you began whole heartedly it will catch up with you and eventually caring 100 % Drops down to half that because of how humans can be.. And I am sorry but, I do think there is a tad of a power trip role that happens to come out when pulling people over...sometimes yes and sometimes not ~ Depends on the personality,morals and Judgement of the officer present. I mean to be a fly on the wall of the locker rooms in the precinct would be great and what things would be said that we would be disappointed to hear?... I like to be real and humans are as real as it gets a job becomes a job and people might not be as worth it over time unfortunately.
