How Police and Traffic Light Companies Are Conspiring to Give You More Tickets

[no_hypocrisy]

12. I find the entire venture of "trapping" motorists to be repugnant.

Let's say you are hip to the scam and you hit the brakes on the threshold of the intersection when you see that yellow light. You risk getting rear-ended if you stop as the driver behind you doesn't possess such superior knowledge and intends to "beat the light" and doesn't notice your brake lights. You don't want to be rear-ended? Then you get a ticket for running a red light as I promise you the light will go from yellow to red in less than 5 seconds. Or another scenario: you begin to negotiate the intersection (drive into it), the light turns yellow but traffic doesn't move and you're now in the middle of the intersection with the now red light. Smile, you're on Traffic Camera and you can expect a ticket in the mail. You can go to court of course to argue your situation, but these cameras are like laser/radar devices measuring your speed: hard to argue without an expertise in their technology.
