Cameras pay for themselves

Many people believe that the government pays for the traffic cameras with the tax money we pay. But the money actually comes from a public safety budget (5 Safety Evaluation of Red-Light Cameras). Then once a few cameras are installed and the tickets start coming in the money paid by the people who get the tickets goes back into funding for the cameras. So if you don’t want to pay for the tickets don’t speed or run red lights.
