You seem somehow to have missed the point. Let me try again ...

1. The red light cameras lost money, therefore were removed, and with them a chance to catch offenders.

2. The police and fire departments are not profit making.

3. Therefore, does it follow that we remove them as well, along with their benefits?

However, since it was a privacy issue, we can forgive them, I am sure.

Londoners were screaming about CCTV cameras invading their privacy not too long ago. That was until about July 8.
