The Des Moines red-light camera racket announced its take for its first month. The key point:
The City of Des Moines pays the vendor of the red light cameras $27 from each $65 red light ticket. It pays the vendor $25 from each speeding ticket.
Not a word about how many accidents were created or saved. But remember, it’s about safety, not revenue.
