Nobody seems to care that cities like Chicago hang on to red light 
camera video footage for 5 months or more and is willing to send it to 
anyone claiming to be a reporter. Perhaps instead they'll care that the 
camera fines are not reinvested in making our roads safer and better. In 
fact, a majority of this money is going straight into vegemite 
sandwiches and white pointer.
