The county estimates 50,000 red light runners who ignore their summons so they have no choice to put in place what they call a necessary deterrent.
Drivers, however, starkly disagree.
"There is nothing inherently wrong with red light cameras as long as it's not used just not as a safety device but just a money making operation," one driver named Tom said. "It's booting. That's a little overkill."
