Last March the city council in San Bernardino voted 5-0 to kill their red-light camera system. Since the cameras were installed in 2005, the program had brought them little but grief. In 2008, the city was caught shortening the timing of yellow lights in order to gin up more citations. Later that year a California appellate court ruled that the city’s contract with the red-light camera service American Traffic Solutions (ATS) was in violation of state law. And in 2010, a county court ruled that images from red-light cameras were inadmissible hearsay. The cameras were such a debacle for San Bernardino that in the end the city paid ATS $110,000 to get out of a contract that would have kept the cameras in place until 2014.

И Европе заодно досталось:

Like many cultural plagues, the red-light camera originated in Europe.

Ага, bless, как же. По-моему, у него противоположные намерения.
Кстати, у нас камеры никто и не думает снимать, а в соседней Вирджинии только что парочку новых повесили.
