Tax payers don’t have increased taxes from cameras

Another myth about cameras is that we have raised taxes to pay for the cameras but we already know they pay for themselves. The programs revenue from citations will match the camera vendor’s monthly service fee (5 Safety Evaluation of Red-Light Cameras). The vendor will absorb any cost overrun therefore the tax payer will not suffer any increased taxes from the need to fund the program.
