Here in Tennessee, the state legislature recently passed a law where failure to completely stop for right turns on red could only be issued by a police officer that witnessed the offense. It had come to light that approximately 80% of all the red light camera revenue was for right turns and people were getting really angry over it.
Of course the local police screamed that accidents would sky rocket and this would endanger the public. After several months, guess what, no increase in accidents.
The only downside to this new law was a huge hit to revenue that the red light camera companies suffered. So much so they sued the state... and lost.
