My wife is opposed to those cameras and she obeys all traffic laws. Not only that, but she gets annoyed when others push it too far (racing the red, using the right turn lane to go straight and pass the traffic, etc.). Her issue is with the invasion of privacy and the government taking liberty to watch you. If you let them install cameras to catch crimes, that lets them put the cameras anywhere.

While I'm not against red light cameras myself, I understand why a law abiding citizen would be against them for those reasons. The government takes liberties that it shouldn't. California charges a fee on your taxes if your withholdings did not take enough out, yet the taxes aren't technically due until April. So there's a fee for not paying taxes EARLY (and they don't give you interest back for paying too much). That's illegal, yet we all bend over and take it.

You can believe what you want, but all I see as an impartial observer is that you refuse to consider things that your opposition has brought up. Disagreeing with them is fine, but throws those points out and saying they can only have one reason is ignorant. At least respect the other points that have been brought up.
