Red Light and Speed Cameras

For those of you that do not live in the Chicagoland area, the city has recently put up a ton of speed cameras and they have had the Red Light cameras for years.  What angers me is that no one has protested the reasoning behind these red light and speed cameras. I thought you put them up to keep people from speeding and to promote safety for pedestrians and motorists alike but you are telling me you get mad because people slow down and don't run lights and the cameras are not generating the revenue you thought they would. Does that mean you don't give a shit about my safety and you WANT me to speed or run lights so you can take ,money from me?  Well, Mr. Mayor?  I'm waiting...
