many of the intersections already have the cameras- (I think they use them instead of metal detectors to detect traffic)

I call BS on this statement: “There’s potential it could generate revenue,” he said. “Some cities that have implemented this have had a substantial revenue increase from it. That’s not our intention or our goal.”

and red-light cameras are just the beginning: "The proposed ordinance also covers a photo-radar program, but police still haven’t determined when it will be rolled out."
