There's one of these cameras on my way to work every morning. I actually take great pleasure in sitting there (even if I'm making a right hand turn) with several people behind me getting pissed off that I'm not making the "right on red". IMHO it's not worth it and I've actually had people honk at me; my usual response is to point at the camera and shrug. I ain't moving until I get a green and I actually hope it DOES piss them off to the point where they start complaining about it.

I've found that I can get the same red-light camera to trip when I'm bicycling. It's great fun to make the "right on red" on my road bike and give a nice big phat middle finger to the camera as it flashes me. I'm just some anonymous, unidentifiable dude on a bicycle - no consequences.

I truly do hate those f*king things. Completely unconstitutional and antithetical to the premise of "government by the people, for the people" IMHO. Bogus, bogus, bogus BS upheld by "the system" just to make money. It's just one more glaring example of how much the government of this state really does hate its citizens and look upon them as nothing more than a source of money.
