I heard that cameras are going to be installed at some lightstops to catch cars that run red lights. I think that instead of just having cameras installed, we should hire those homeless people who just stand at the corners anyway for about 6 bucks an hour to stand there (like they do anyway) and have them hold a video camera and catch the red light runners.

Good thought, but I'd be concerned that they would sell the camera for booze or drugs. $6/hour is nothing to live on.

Why? Because the general public does not trust homeless people to that extent. They all think like that first chic that answered, that all homeless people are alcoholics and drug addicts. It's not like decent people ever unexpectedly loose their jobs and end up in a mountain of debt before they realize it. And surely nice kids that just have abusive families don't run away at the age of 16, 13, or even 8 years old just to not have to live that way by choosing a life on the streets instead. Heaven knows that living on the streets is easy, people are nice to you, you get to bath for free daily when strangers invite you home to clean up, people just hand you money cause they are so generous and trusting, other homeless people like you so nobody tries to rape or kill you, and the world just loves you and joins together to give you all the food you can eat. Why are people such oblivious twits?

Red-light cameras are supposed to make us safer by discouraging people from running red lights. The trouble is that they work too well. Numerous studies have found that when these cameras are put in place, rear-end collisions increase dramatically. Drivers who once might have stretched the light a bit now slam on their brakes for fear of getting a ticket, with predictable results. A study of red-light cameras in Washington, D.C., by The Washington Post found that despite producing more than 500,000 tickets (and generating over $32 million in revenues), red-light cameras didn't reduce injuries or collisions. In fact, the number of accidents increased at the camera-equipped intersections.

There should be cameras everywhere, like in England....also there should be chips in our bodies so that the police can track us and they would know who was at crime scenes.....they could find kidnapped kids in two seconds.
