We have them in Rochester, NY. The amount of tickets given in 6 months was astonishing.

I live in Iowa and Council Bluffs (across the Missouri River from Omaha Nebraska) has lights at all major intersections. The tickets are impossible to contest and the fee is very high.

I live near Columbus, OH and we have them at the major intersections in the downtown area. Since the intersections they are at are ones that usually have a lot of pedestrian crosswalks most folks don't inch past the line. I am not bothered by it, but I am not a regular driver in the downtown area.

Camera's at traffic lights and along the freeways as well as the mobile ones along the other roads have been in Oz for many years. We now also have CTV in many parts of the various cities as well.

From this I think I can safely say "Big Brother" has been watching us for some years and probably more so that I/we realize. For instance when my husband and I returned from living overseas for many years and went to the tax office to reinstate our tax IR status the chap in the office started asking us where we had lived while out of the country then after 3 places he said - oh what the heck turned the computer around to us and told us to confirm that everything on the screen was correct. Well you could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw all the information they had on me and I hadn't even been in the country.

Yep Big Brother is alive, well and very active.

We have them in Washington state as a revenue generator. There are too many cameras for me.

Aurora

No traffic lights here either -- not even a STOP Sign.

When I first moved to Kentucky, in one of the nearby cities, they parked police cars in the median at traffic lights with dummies in them, and no I am not referring to the Police, they were actual dummies.

Scrap Happy

We have them here. One crowded intersection was having a lot of car accidents because of people running red lights. That was the first light to have a camera set up and others followed.

Here in Houston, we had lots of them and in November the voters voted to have them removed. The company that installed them is fighting this, but for now, they aren't sending out tickets.

Same here...we have them in Portland, OR....I don't worry about them. As QuiltnCowgirl stated so well, if you're obeying the law what's to worry about.

But on the subject of the radar detector (which again I agree with the above stated logic) I had a neighbor who's car was stolen out of his garage (someone must have had a special order for his model car because they knew where he lived and took it out of his garage during the wee hours of the morning.) Anyway, the Police put out a multi-state alert and it was stopped the next day in Washington State....for speeding. It had a radar detector on the dash...in plain sight.. and the idiot didn't even turn it on! Had it turned it on he would not have been nailed! Great ending to that story
