Uhhhh.... It was April 1st. Didn't anyone in the state of retirement bother to draw upon the years of experience for this day and remember it is Aril Fools Day?
There was a similar situation many years ago in Seattle with a Country radio station (something about varmints parachuting off the Space Needle) which ended badly for the DJs and I believe that was on April Fools Day as well.
If traffic cameras had no safety effects whatsoever, I would still not have a problem with them for the sole fact they generate revenue the government can use to run itself. I don't run Red lights so I don't pay the government their "Sin Tax" on reckless driving. If I speed and get caught - or, for that matter, drive reckless in any manner and get caught, I figure I deserve the ticket.
Speaking of "Sin Taxes", we have "Sin Taxes" on other items such as Cigarettes and Liquor for the actions of smoking and drinking, why not on have the same for reckless driving since it probably kills more than smoking or drinking per year.

I have no problems with the Revenue Generation
