I despise these traffic cameras. They are popping up everywhere in the DFW area. So many people I know get rolling right on red tickets... it's absolute BS. It has nothing to do with safety and everything about money. There are so many instances where you can check if it's safe to make a right without having to make your wheels completely stop. I can't imagine many accidents being caused by a vehicle moving <2mph while making sure they were clear as opposed to coming to a complete stop. These photo enforced lights make me nervous as all hell, as I approach, first sign of yellow and I find myself slamming on the brakes.

Example of a right turned that ended in a photo enforced ticket.

Edit: fixed the link.
