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?

As someone who went to law school mainly to deal with all my traffic citations, I am way to close to this one to give a measured, thoughtful and unemotional analysis. However, I did hear that if you get one of these in the mail and just ignore it then nothing will happen. The reason I heard was because you have never been served properly. This is why cops force you to sign a ticket when they give it to you. They can't do that when it just comes in the mail. However, this does not seem necessary for parking citations, so who knows.
