Exactly. See Chicago's photo red light debacle. And that's a case where otherwise I'd support the idea because running red lights kills and maims people with a much higher incidence than say speeding on the highway.

The two speeding tickets I've gotten: one was deserved, but I still fought it for a minimal (standard) plea bargain reduction. The other, the cop flat out lied twice. He said he used pace method, yet was never going the speed I was (he came upon me like a bullet and I wasn't speeding); but then the ticket had the radar box checked, and I said I wouldn't sign it until he corrected it. He said he wasn't going to change the ticket and if I didn't sign it he'd take me to jail. Small podunk town in Kansas just randomly pulling people over to make money. Modern day highwayman.
