The reality is that there are way too many people running red lights out there. As a law enforcement officer, I don't care to get into the money argument. If people slow down and stop for red lights, the program goes away. Let's be careful out there.

I have a strong feeling they did not run that red light because they were unconcerned about being caught or having to pay a fine.
You are correct. In some cases, we can only hope that enforcement will have a future benefit for the violator, or perhaps the program raises general safety awareness for those who choose to pay attention.
it did in Europe, hardly anybody will run a red light there, traffic deads are way down, people will learn after a while that a red means STOP , might take the people here a little longer but...
eventually they will get it.
