Who's in favor of red light cameras? Who's against?

Do you think a cycling organization should come out in favor of them?

Traffic cameras rely on photos of the license plate in order to
function. Unless you want a large metal licence plate on your
bicycle, methinks that a cyclists would not need to worry much about
getting a ticket from a traffic camera.


Methinks that the cycling organization is worried about getting
mowed down by an automobile running a red light rather than
about getting a ticket.


If this cycling organization
wants to take a stand on traffic cameras for automobiles, methinks
they're somewhat out of their area of concern and expertise.


Skewing the odds towards avoiding becoming a greasy spot on
the pavement seems a laudable goal for a cycling organization.
