I will, I got a 75$ "ticket" in the mail for that. I remember passing through the "red" light. Actually it was yellow as I passed through and traffic was moving sooooo slow, so of course I cant speed up. I was on hwy 6 and 59, everyone knows that is a busy intersection. I am not going to stop in the middle of the freaking street and reverse.

Case in point, a couple weeks ago I was cruising along 1960 and the roads were slick. I was coming up on an intersection that had the cameras and when it turned yellow I was at that distance where you probably won't make it if you try, but if you hit the brakes you might not stop in time, so I locked em up and hydroplaned into the intersection trying to avoid the ticket.

My problem with them is the right turn on red where they have them set up. You have a designated lane to turn right from, your light is red but no traffic is coming and if you dont make a complete stop for a few seconds then turn you will get a ticket or that.
You have a lane that is turn right only you should not have to make a complete stop if no traffic is coming or they should put a turn green light up for that lane to help the flow of traffic. In massive intersections the way the light are your light will be red but no cars are coming your way due to how the lights are structured. You should be able to go
And it also falls back on this how can we reduce the amount of time cars are on the road burning fuels and "polluting" the air. Because this for sure as hell isn't doing it.
I agree they should be on some corners like the one that have the most accidents, But it seems more like there on the corners that can bring them more revenue.
