Don't show us the data if it doesn't support your own bullshit theory that red light cameras decrease crashes. They don't
The number of crashes at Houston intersections with red-light cameras doubled in the first year after their installation, according to a city-financed study released Monday.

But Mayor Bill White argued that the cameras' presence prevented even more collisions and that the study proves the monitoring program is keeping drivers safe.
And you're basing this on what exactly? Collisions went up, along with city revenue, to the tune of about $20 million dollars.
Since September 2006, the cameras have led to at least 387,000 citations and generated more than $20 million in revenue.
Don't kid yourself. It's about raising money, not safety. And I hope the rest of Texas keeps this in mind when this professional liar runs for the senate.
