This prompts me to ask: If red-light cameras do not decrease accidents, can they survive rational-basis review? Should we have them at all, or are they just a driving tax?

I initially bought the idea that they, and their speeding-camera brethren, might have a deterrent effect, which overcame my belief that they were principally to raise revenue. But without even that thin reed to stand on, shouldn't they have to go?
They're still cheaper than humans. And they never stop at donut shops.
