We could easily crush the entire program if we could get enough volunteers to stand near each intersection with a big warning sign. If there was no revenue for 60-90 days, the contractor would be screaming, and the city would have to pull the plug. Don't see how they could complain--they have made it clear that the goal is not revenue, its traffic safety. If no one ran the red lights, crashes from this cause would go to zero along with the revenue. Everyone gains except the safety nazis and the corrupt politicians and the corrupt private firms that though up this scheme in the first place.I sense there is anger around Houston about this. Think I'm right?
But not everyone is unhappy. Another commenter offers his/her anonymous support:
"If no one ran the red lights"... well, guess what they do. which drives up the cost of insurance. As far as i'm concerned i'd like to see one in front of my house, but I'd hate to slow you down as you blow past at 50mph.What do you think?
