I hope these thieving cities and police agencies realize that we will beat them with technology
Speeding is pretty much irrelevant in D.C. anyway, with or without cameras. It's 69 square miles of almost completely built-up city and constant traffic lights, with very few open roads except for I-295/395.

ah, i had a thread about this when i thought I saw a red light camera catch me making a turn on red without stopping completely. but the letter never came!
just more BS from DC police chiefs, chiefs are nothing more than some political mouthpiece of the mayor. Like the Jersey City police chief complaining this weekend that pump shotguns were assault weapons
The police saying it's about safety is a JOKE! It's all about the $$$. The Philly area on Rt. 1 blvd. made SO MUCH money from 4 red light cameras, they increased them to 10. The I-phone app. is great. It will always a cat& mouse game with tech. in all things.

Before you can say that, you would have to look at a number of factors, such as the accident rate on that stretch of road before and after the cameras were installed, the severity of the accidents that did occur, and number of injuries/deaths. To just come out and say, in blanket terms, that the cameras do not affect safety is not necessarily an accurate statement.
For instance, here in VA, we found that red-light cameras tended to lessen the number of T-Bone side-impact crashes but INCREASE the number of rear-enders. However, the rear-enders, in general, were much less severe than higher-speed side impacts, resulting in fewer injuries/deaths.
