The problem with red light cameras that the OP is referring to is the fact that red-light cameras aren't pointed at the straight-through lanes, where running a red light would potentially cause a fatal T-bone accident. Instead, they're pointed at right turn lanes, where they're more likely to make money from people who didn't stop 100% when performing a right-on-red.
Ahh, my country doesn't allow this. Red means don't go, always. I haven't noticed cameras pointing anywhere other than mid-intersection to catch straight through offenses.
