Glad Tidings of the Season: Chicago Study Exposes Red Light Camera Scam.

A Chicago Tribune study of the city’s scandal-plagued red light camera program finds the expensive scam hurts traffic safety and causes an increase in rear end collisions, Ars Technica reports.

The article notes, “as recently as November, red light camera company Redflex called North America a “low/no-growth market” due to revenue volatility and federal investigations.”

The program has always been about punishing city drivers and filling government coffers. It never had any relationship to safety.
