Caught!

Down in Albuquerque, drivers have been complaining that cameras posted at intersections have been catching them running red lights. For some reason, they think this is massively unfair. Apparently they think if there's not an actual law enforcement officer on site -- visible enough to give them warning to obey the law -- to catch them, they should be able to get away with breaking the law.

In response to those complaints, warnings are going to be posted before those intersections letting motorists know that cameras are watching them. I suppose the message is that people need to be informed when they can get away with violating traffic laws, and when they might be caught.

There's a simple solution, you know: Just stop at red lights. All the time. Everywhere.
