It's also important to remember that the intention of these cameras is absolutely not to teach anyone a lesson. It's about generating revenue... they want you to make the same mistake as many times as possible.

I hate to be "that guy" and I'm not looking to start an argument, but are there stats to back that up? I can only go on what I read in the papers and I hear "speed is considered a factor" far more than I hear about fatalities related to cell phone usage.
I realize it's a snobby thing to say, but I have a hard time getting riled up about this issue. If I don't speed I fail to see how this impacts me. Sure there is the very real possibility of them impacting the traffic flow, but of course we won't know that until they start being used.
Perhaps it is nothing more than a cash cow. Personally if the city wants to take money from people that are breaking traffic laws I fail to see a problem.
