Lubbock Trades Safety for Dollars
It seems that Lubbock, Texas valued revenues over lives: the city installed red lights cameras at intersections with too-short yellow timings (in at least one case, an illegally short timing). Too-short yellow lights cause death and property damage, but in conjunction with red light cameras they are an excellent money-raiser. Once again we see that traffic law enforcement is really just another way of taxing—and of depriving citizens of their lives and property as well.
