Until the city starts doing what so many cities do and shortens the yellow phase to increase their profits. Many cities have been caught doing this, with some shortening the amount of yellow time so much so to make it almost impossible to reasonably stop (even at the speed limit). For a few examples see here:
6 cities that have been caught shortening yellow times
For a nice list of arguments against the use of cameras, have a look at:
