red light camera
Traffic violation photographer
A red light camera is a traffic enforcement device that automatically photographs vehicles running red lights.
The camera captures the license plate, and the registered owner receives a citation by mail.
Red light cameras are controversial—proponents cite safety benefits, critics argue they're revenue schemes that may actually increase rear-end collisions as drivers brake suddenly.
