I think it's really dumb to have the cameras. The cops are supposed to be catching the people who run it. So in a sense, they're getting their job done for them. I know sometimes cops have other things to worry about, but I don't think the cameras are necessary. There was one night last weekend I was driving home and it was one of the nights that it was raining and really slippery. The light turned yellow but I didn't want to stop because I had already slid and I was almost through the intersection. The light turned red so technically I ran the light, and of course it's at the light that has a camera. There are certain situations where you may not be able to stop, like if it's icy or wet out. A lot of times it's harder and we are more likely to get hurt that way. Basically, I don't see a need for them.
