I think they are a good idea. Too many people obey speed limits only if
they know there are cops around. We had photo radar for a while here.
It was used only along the major corridors, mostly around Toronto. It
made everyone slow down and drive along at roughly the same speed.
Traffic moved better and accidents were reduced.

FWIW, one of our prosecutors was one of the lawyers who designed the
legal part of the system. His thinking was that if photo radar never
issued a single ticket it would have been a major success.
