About 10 years ago, Clark was a strong advocate for red light cameras at traffic intersections. He believed these cameras would reduce injuries and fatalities because people would change their behavior. But they may not be as helpful as once thought. In fact, the Washington Post just completed a six-year investigation, which showed that these cameras do nothing but beef up the money collected by jurisdictions. In Washington D.C. alone, $32 million in fees have been collected. Worse yet, accidents have actually increased at the intersections where red light cameras are installed. The conclusion is that the cameras do not deter behavior at all. Twelve states are now using these cameras. The only state that has rescinded them is Virginia, which as outlawed them.
