“Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett last month signed legislation expanding the use of red light cameras throughout the state. The state House waited until the dead of night to pass the measure giving more jurisdictions the ability to install automated ticketing machines, hoping to generate an estimated $49,502,545 in revenue in the first year. But while safety is cited as evidence of the benefit of camera use, the streets are not actually safer than they were without cameras. Philadelphia’s response has been to spend $120,000 on media relations to improve the image of the profitable program.”
