Letter to the Editor

            Thanks for your comments [Red lights and cameras can be a lethal combination, Aug. 4] on red light cameras. I, too, make detours to steer clear of them ever since I got victimized some years ago.

            I’m sure it was a malfunction, but who was I to argue with a camera. It cost me $500, so I’m paranoid and cringe every time I see one.

            They should be outlawed, but they won’t be because they make money not only for the cities but for the companies that make and install them. And in this society, that seems to be all that matters.
