David Kelly, head of the National Coalition for Safer Roads says the red light cameras are becoming crime-fighting tools for local police throughout the nation. “Police in Red Bank, Tenn., caught four suspects in a violent home invasion by reviewing images from a red-light camera near the victims’ home. After a 21-year-old college student in Tempe, Ariz., who was originally from New Jersey, was dragged to her death when a drive-by purse snatcher caught the student’s hands in the purse strings, police traced the car through red-light camera footage.”
