   Comments: I believe people end up paying more attention to the color of the light and their speed when they approach these cameras, and less to the pedestrians or cars around them. It seems like a camera is doing all the work for the officers; what is this giving them more time to do

   Comments: These cameras are a violation of our rights, but even worse, they are a disrespectful tactic for a town to use against its own citizens.

    Comments: I think that those cameras are stupid. I mean if the police really cared about drivers/drivers safety they would put them by schools and hospitals and old folks homes. Actual places where speeding matters in a life and death situation. Yes they put them in "hazard driving areas" but what they dont understand is maybe speed played a factor and maybe the dumbass behind the wheel speeding not paying attention to the road played a factor. I also think that if the police cared they wouldnt put them everywhere they think is a problem area. Problem Area or more cash to the police's yearly budget!!!!

    Comments: I was very frustrated to find that this type of a thing would even be allowed. When sent the ticket in the mail you are sent a picture of your car (with a spot over the driver and passangers). You can pay the ticket and no other charges would be pressed and it wouldn't go against your record. So to me, it sounds like the City of Davenport thought they found and easy and legal way to make money. Unfortunately, I don't think they thought this situation through. It is very dangerous, in fact, most people are busy watching the lights and the cameras as opposed to the roads. Others just find different routes to travel that avoid the red light cameras all together. Making streets like Gaines, which, are not safer to travel on because of the neighborhood but safer, because of the traffic situation.

    Comments: Even though I used a fictitious name/e-mail I still am passionate about this subject. With these cameras we the people are under constant supervision. Perhaps if the tax dollars us citizens pay to the police went for actually doing their jobs instead of relying on cameras to do it for them. These cameras are used for more than just catching someone running a red light. Please, let the police do their job. Quit relying on technology that will never equal the power of a human brain. Have we honestly become this lazy

    Comments: Davenport is now a pathetic city that I am not longer proud to be living in. They look for stupid ways to generate revenue and just keep on spending. Especially on stupid civic projects that only matter to a tiny percentage of citizens.

    Comments: Red light cameras and speed light cameras are merely a ploy to increase city revenue. What is disappointing, is we can no longer trust our officials to spend that money wisely. Misappropriation of community tax dollars at its best. I then ask, after seeing how these tickets are presented, it is way providable to see whom is actually operating the vehicle in question. Violating every citizens right to be "proven" guilty and in turn question its accuser , kind of hard to question a computer isnt it

    Comments: These systems are set up to make money for the local gov. When they set them up they often shorten the yellow cycle which raises the # of tickets. I have never had a ticket from one but have seen a few crashes. It also causes some crashes. But in the eyes of the politicos it's worth it! Stop it if you can. It has been a bad thing here in California.

    Comments: I saw this in Great Britain. Then it led to a proliferation of cameras to monitor the public for crime (to protect citizens). However, the crime rate went up. Recently, a British government official stated that he wanted to implant a monitoring chip in people (to protect them). Once government gets involved in using cameras and other technologies to monitor everyone (not just select groups), the temptation is too great to develop other uses (to protect the public and accumulate more money to fund these and other programs).
