Red Light Camera's In Vegas? No Way

From the Las Vegas Sun: The North Las Vegas Police Department has long felt hamstrung in trying to implement a tool that it is confident would save lives. Since 2005, the department has lobbied the state Legislature for permission to post cameras at traffic signals to catch motorists who run red lights.
Police argue that these red-light cameras would prompt motorists to slow down versus speed up when the lights turn yellow, and want permission to conduct a pilot project to learn if that would happen in their city.
But the Legislature, which banned red-light cameras in 1999, has always said no.
With the upcoming legislative session, North Las Vegas police are considering another lobbying push for the pilot project. This time, they may be more emboldened in their efforts.

As a push to reduce red light runner crashes and provide more revenue to the cities in the county and to Clark County, there is a new push to put camera's on the stop lights and ticket cars that run red lights. That's right, cars, not drivers.
Currently, when a police officer pulls you over, they will give a ticket to the driver. They don't give the ticket to the passenger or the owner of the car, they give it to the driver. However, since most cars in the Valley have tinted windows, it will be next to impossible to ticket the driver, so the cops have to ticket the car. Well, the car didn't run the red light, it was the driver. So, if a relative, say a wife, is driving your car and runs a red light, the person who is on the title will get the ticket, fine and points off the drivers license. That's not fair or even constitutional.
Second, while the red light cameras may reduce intersection accidents, it will increase rear end accidents when the car in front decides to slam on their brakes to avoid the fine and the car behind can't stop in time.
Further, being a tourist destination with thousands of cars flowing into Las Vegas a day to spend money here, it will only piss off tourists who come to Las Vegas, spend money here and when they arrive home, find out that they have a $150 or so ticket for running a red light. You think those people will want to come back to Las Vegas? Instead of talking about a great vacation here, they will remember the ticket they got from the cops as a lasting reminder.
So, I hope the State legislators say no to red light cameras and have the real police officers enforce the traffic laws, not a camera.
