Try living in Arizona--we have them on a stretch of freeway going through Scottsdale in addition to the cameras at red lights and vans. Rumor is they want to try to put them on ALL of Arizona's freeways through a referendum next year.
A huge problem IMO as this is driven by revenues not safety and is a pet peeve of mine. I follow a site/blog called thenewspaper.com and it follows the topic very closely. I bought a license cover for $25 and that keeps me insulated from the tickets, but still pi$$es me off. Police should be around for public safety NOT as a revenue source.

Perhaps a solution to this is to make all fines due to traffic tickets go towards some fund for victums of automobile crashes, or something OTHER than the police departments. This would make this a public safety issue rather than funding issue pretty fast.

I have no idea if this particular case is profitable, but schemes like this have actually driven down State revenues before.
