You can run this argument with speed cameras but you'll not get far with red lights.

While I agree to a large extent, certain authorities have been playing with the timing on lights with red-light cameras so as to catch more people (and so pay for running the system and to ensure the revenue). I've only seen evidence of it from the states but that doesn't mean it doesn't go on here. Look at the way red ken played with the light timings in london to make traffic worse to help get the CC in...
