On Traffic Cameras

As far as I know there seem to be two types of widely used traffic cameras in the U.S.:
  1. Speed cameras
  2. Red light cameras

Both types are, I believe, predominantly abused to generate revenues for governments. They should be abolished.

I am kind of in favor of cameras at e.g. intersections that should only be used in case of traffic accidents or other injurious events to prove who was guilty/at fault (e.g. someone run the the red light).

If someone causes an accident running a red light, the driver should be severely punished!
