The spread of red light cameras continue unabated.
League City council members gave the green light Tuesday to red light cameras at five intersections throughout the city.

Motorists caught running red lights will be issued a $75 ticket that will not count against their driving record, Jez said.

“I think we’re at a point where we have no other choice in this city but to use every tool in our arsenal to address traffic congestion,” he said.
No Other Choice. Wow, I had no idea how horrible it is. But it's about safety, not revenue, is it?
The cameras could also boost revenues collected from fines by $500,000, Jez said, quoting data from the company, Redflex Traffic Systems.

Jez said he is pushing the cameras as a public safety tool and he “could care less about the revenues.”
What errant bullshit. If it's about safety and not revenue, then why don't the tickets count on your driving record? Why is it only a fine that makes the city half a million dollars? Oh yeah, it is all about money.
