When you run a red light, the camera takes a photo of the car and tag number. The photos are looked at and a ticket is sent through the mail for running a red light. The cameras would be paid for in a short amount of time. I see numerous people running red lights "every day." The cameras in Gulf Breeze are prime examples of how good they work.

And zero traffic fatalities???? Not on this planet. What would be nice if the state would hire an officer, driving a vehicle, like a Kia soul, or a VW bug, or something that doesn't shout, "COP" and let them give out "STUPID" tickets. No court date. You pay the fine, and it would be up to the deputy how much, and you pay right then and there with a check card, credit card, or cash. As long as there is earth, wind and fire, there are going to be speeders and traffic fatalities. You simply can't fix stupid, but you can hit them in the pocket book, so to speak.
