welcome to civilisation. ;-) in germany we have red-light and speeding cams for years (>>20!!). the town communities are calculating their year income in advance by anticipating a certain amount from this budget item. cameras here are sophisticated and advanced, there's nearly no chance to appeal the ticket. running a red light suspends normally your driving license for a month btw. you get used to (means you know the location of) the fixed cameras. the evil ones e.g. are the portable $50000 cams in the back of an unsuspiciously looking wagon with tinted windows parking in a row of other cars at the curb side.
that's all reality here since i can think of - which is at least 25 years. the penalties are not that high compared to the US or other european countries (well, don't want to speak about the severe penalties in the land of the free for DWI, that's even more dramatic). i don't understand the fuzz about feeling the privacy concerned. i lived for some time in the US and generally speaking, there's definitely more gerneral surveillance cams compared to any other country in the world.
