The local speed cameras in Cedar Rapids Iowa don't ticket till 12 mph over in a 55 zone. 12 over is excessive IMO. Red light camera's nail every runner and get 90% of them for speed at the same time, anything over 6 mph while running a red should get a 2nd ticket. Tickets go against registered owner, nothing points or anything towards license.

I think the the cameras should notifiy you with a addition set of light 50-100 yards down the road that you just got busted. Digital display of your speed, red numbers of your speed your getting mail. Nothing fixes bad behavior that quick feed back, can't discipline my wifes dog for pooping on the floor 2 weeks ago.

And as law abiding driving and tax payer, the are more efficient and safer than making an officer work a freeway, or set at every stoplight. I really dislike that private companies are getting 1/3 or more of the fee, no reason the local LEO's can do the whole thing.
