In my home state of Florida I once noticed they had cameras at intersections that looked similar to those red light cameras in DC. Later learned they were nothing more than cameras used to the monitor traffic and apparently there is a state law on the books that prohibits such red light or stationary speed cameras. So if anyone is going to stop you, it is going to be a police officer.
The Mexico City government down here is going nuts since the are a lot of non-local cars (especially foreign and diplomat), but until the they get their guys into the cars and physically stop us...nothing much they can do. Part of the issue with the cops in the cars is that fact that bribery still works and the government never collects anything.

Increasing a yellow lights duration has a far better cost to benefit ratio than a red light camera does
