Usually allocation decisions are related to actual car/pedestrian fatality/injury counts + trial placements and measurements. Either way, wouldn't you be in favor of measures that remove police from overpoliced poor neighborhoods in favor of a technology focusing on traffic safety enforcement?
They shorten the yellow light interval to gain more revenue. It's an irresistible corruption when working on a revenue share.
You're taking something that has happened at least once and extrapolating it to every situation; this isn't accurate.
Show me one big city PD that isn't corrupt enough that this is just a minor corruption snack to them.
