Is there proper signage at this intersection regarding speed limits, cameras, etc. that are well displayed and clearly visible? If so, then it's your own fault for getting caught. You can choose almost any speed you want to drive at. If you get caught for speeding, it's not a cash grab, it's your punishment. The same goes for texting while driving.
I thought the goal of these cameras was safety not a cash grab though, I have no problem with the tickets. But all those tickets speak to a issue with road design and/or signage. But the city couldn't give a damn about actually trying to fix the problem and instead gives a big f you to safety and just prints the tickets.
