In the San Diego area we've had a red-light photo enforcement
for several years now - $271 fine, 40/60 split between the
city & Lockheed-Martin, which provides the equipment, fingers
the presumptively guilty.
In practice the cameras are installed at high volume intersections
(not high-accident intersections), and the yellow-light times are
reduced to enhance the take.
I'm a bicyclist - If there's an up side to motorists running lights
I've missed it, but the scheme ignores the common, deadly practice
of motorists turning right on red without slowing down, much less
stopping - Turning right, looking left...
