Red Light Cameras: Law Enforcement Tool or Unconstitutional Intrusion?

I may be taking a risk by venturing into such a topic with my blog; but I figure I tackled the subject of intellectual property rights so this should be right up my alley.

I catch a lot of flack for my views. I am often the oddball in my generation, a social throwback to a time when there was more respect for authority and a desire to do right. Or, perhaps this time never even existed and I am just that much stranger.

For me, the debate over red-light cameras is a simple one: You do the crime, you pay the fine.

I will also be honest in saying that when I hear someone start talking about how these cameras are unconstitutional I have a hard time not hearing, "I just want to keep getting away with breaking the rules and will use any lame argument to do so."
