Both, from my perspective. The cameras have since been removed in my area, but I'm convinced they caused more (total) accidents than they prevented...all you have to do is notice the skid marks at those intersections. If the cameras were really about safety, there are much "better" ways. I also have a REAL problem with the privatization of "fines", and the whole process of contesting the fine. In my area, the "vendor" received 90% of the fines (...talk about a business I'd like to be in), but it was still "easy money" for the politicos to spend. I ignored the only ticket I recieved for several years, and never heard anything more from it...there is/was no "teeth" in the collection process either
