“AND IN THE OTHER CORNER….” WEIGHING IN ON RED LIGHT CAMERAS
There is almost nothing about driving that doesn’t send a bee up somebody’s butt. Below is a small list of sites and blogs from the polar extremes of the RLC issue. They are provided not for any relation they may have to driving like ass but, as they say, “as a contribution to the literature”, such as it is.

FOLLOWING DISTANCE AND RED LIGHT CAMERAS
Coming to an intersection near you, the nemesis of evil-doers and ass-like drivers everywhere—the Red Light Camera—wants to take on Massachusetts’ driving anarchy. Drivinglikeass.com thinks it hasn’t got a prayer.
On the issue of red light cameras (RLC), the opposing teams line up like this: For? Insurance companies and highway safety organizations, a few revenue-strapped municipalities, and camera system vendors. Against? Just about everybody else.
Nonetheless, State Rep Kevin Honan of Brighton has introduced two bills that would allow cities and towns in Massachusetts (H.3512) and Boston and Cambridge (H.3513) to deploy “traffic control signal violation monitoring system devices as a means of promoting traffic safety.” At first blush, this sounds like a real winner: using technology to nab traffic scofflaws, anywhere, 24-7. But, once again, technology and logic will remain powerless against the innate obduracy of driving like ass.
