Like crack cocaine in the ’80s and heroin in the ’90s, a new addiction is sweeping the streets - red light cameras. Although studies have shown that red light cameras actually increase accidents, municipalities can’t seem to stop hitting the pipe. Speaking to a group of investment bankers, Lynn Blodgett, CEO of Affiliated Computer Services, a maker of red light and speed cameras, said the cameras "generate a lot of revenue and so they’re not going to cut back on those types of areas."
Our sources tell us that a coalition of camera makers, racked by guilt, have proposed opening rehabilitation centers to curb the addictions of city and state officials who’ve succumb to the scourge and ruined their professional and personal lives. Plans have been made to place addicts in "old world" cities without stop lights or red light cameras, instead there’ll be 4-way stop sign intersections and traditional traffic cops to collect revenue.
