Red Light camera's

.I think they have done away with the cameras where I live due to citizen outcry.

And why were outraged, prob due to the fines they were getting while breaking the law. There is no reasonable arguments to be against these.

There are plenty of reasonable arguments that have been made, you just don't agree. Try to separate the two.

Give me a logical argument against them then that cannot be refuted. Most people argue silly things that are more personal opinions, I want to see hard facts.

They cause more accidents and injuries then they prevent.

Because of peoples illegal driving habits not the fault of the cameras, if they drove legally the accidents would not happen .... Next

The person who usually gets injured is probably the person slamming on his brakes to avoid rolling through the redlight so he is not the person breaking the law so it is perfectly valid argument.

Why does the person have to slam on their breaks to avoid rolling through the light?

If they were watching what they were doing they would not need to slam on any breaks as they would be prepared to come to a safe controlled stop. Once again drivers bad/illegal driving habits not anything to do with the camera being there ( the camera not being there doesn't make rolling through the red light legal so you can't use that argument)

Still nothing to sway the camera not being there, just reasons why some people that do drive should not.

I pass 5 camera lights on my way to work and like I said I have never had a ticket or accident but one of the camera lights is on a road where the speed limit is 55 MPH. There are times when I am caught in between I either have to gas it to make it through or have to hit my breaks fairly quickly in order to stop in time and trust me I am paying careful attention.

A person in my neighborhood slowed quickly at a camera while it was icy outside, lost control, and his car went right into a tree. The camera was removed a week later.
