Traffic Light Tampering = Increased Red Light Camera Revenue

Well, there goes any semblance of public safety/concern by our elected public officials!

Jeff Nolan, in his blog, notes that six US cities have been caught decreasing the length of the yellow light below legal limits in an effort to catch more drivers running red lights and thus increase their revenue!
Remember all the people you supported/voted for to get a City Council seat(or any other public office) ?
They're claiming that this is for safety purposes, and it doesn't put people in danger of death or serious injury for the sake of the almighty dollar!

Apparently it's not just the mortgage crisis you have to worry about, but the mismanagement of funds by your City or Township. And of course, when their "revenue" starts to decline, you gotta pay.
I wonder, if misappropriation of funds can be reined in, wouldn't we have enough to support the infrastructure in your area?
