They installed them in our town a few years ago. They specifically placed them at intersections where people were notorious for running red lights (especially during high-traffic times of the day where people keep shooting through the intersection long after the "left turn green light" goes off because they know people aren't going to ram them intentionally).
At first everyone freaked out and slammed on their brakes whenever a light turned red. Anywhere. It was nuts. After awhile, though, it actually became pleasant at these intersections because - lo and behold - everyone actually started following the rules! Imagine that!! They have been very effective in my town.
They review each one and only actually cite about half of the people getting their picture taken. Tickets are never issued for "right turn on red" violations.
I don't have a problem with them. Speeding cameras, I would have a problem with...
