Red-light cameras ordered capped in Minneapolis; declared unconstitutional

I dislike the cameras, in part because if *I* run a red, there's a reason for it, but I won't remember that reason a month later when I get the ticket in the mail. Getting pulled over by a cop will not only allow me to plead my case on the spot and maybe get only a warning, but I'll remember it if I have to.

I did have one go off on me but I had a guy right on my tail and it was wet, so safer to continue through the intersection rather than try to stop. That *would* have been an accident. I saw the flash and was waiting to see if they'd ticket me. They didn't, for which I am pleased.
