Funny news articles

I saw a very amusing news article today about some cities taking down their red light cameras. It said that some cities are taking them down because they are no longer cost effective. People see the cameras and don't run the red lights, the cameras don't take any pictures and there are no tickets issued and no money coming in to pay for the cameras upkeep. I find that funny. Wasen't that the whole point of the red light cameras? To make people stop running the red lights? Apparently they work to well!
