6 cities caught shortening yellow lights for profit

Here’s a nice round up of 6 American cities who have been caught shortening yellow lights at intersections where traffic cameras had been installed for increased profits. Worth noting is the presence of Dallas on this list, their camera system became news recently when they began shutting down systems which were no longer profitable.

Anyone who still says traffic cameras are about public safety is exactly the kind of person you should kick in the shins. Maybe a shin kicking raid on Council Chambers is in order? Do I need a permit for that?
