I absolutely hate them! There's nothing wrong with giving people who break the law a punishment but it feels like it's one step closer to 1984. Now they can catch me committing crimes without being present. They're watching me and it feels very invasive. I don't mind getting stopped by a cop but to have robots (cameras, same difference) doing it feels wrong. What's next? Are they going to start monitoring me on my private property? Are thought crimes next?

It's a slippery slope. Today people get used to being watched on public property and being issued tickets. The more people get used to this the further the authorities can go with it. And if you know me, you know I'm the furthest thing from paranoid when it comes to privacy issues. I assume nothing is private anymore and I just don't care but when I can be fined by a camera that's just crossing the line.

It also comes across as really lazy and sleazy too. A very cheap way to make a lot of money quick. When you get one of those tickets you really have no way to contest it. Yeah, you could go to court but they have a video and the law assumes the robots are always calibrated correctly and they don't know nor do they care if your wife is in the passenger seat having contractions or whatever the case may be.
