In my previous post I mentioned the revenue that municipalities can collect from the citations issued for traffic infractions caught by traffic cameras. Apparently I have a 'San Francisco' view of the world because according to an article in the Dallas Morning News, Dallas' City Hall is thinking of putting the kibosh on red light cameras because they're milking the city of revenue.

If, instead of $75, Dallas were to fine its citizens $531 for running a red light the way they do here in San Francisco... lost revenue may not be as much of an issue there.
