Red light camera's do work and improve safety, but only if you use them correctly. That means, using a lot of them. Here in the Netherlands there's an automatic camera at virtually every red light. Individual camera's maybe increase accidents, but if most red lights have camera's you'll learn to anticipate.
Maybe there is also less tampering in the Netherlands because the country goverment receives the ticket income, but local government decides on the location of the camera. A nice division of power, which should be standard in governmental affairs.
