The traffic cameras do not usually have the resolution to identify a
person, particularly at night. They are just there to verify that
traffic is flowing. The stop light cameras are higher resolution since
they are used in court. These are usually set up by a private company
that gets 35-40% of the revenue. There will be quite a number of
cameras per intersection shooting each light from a couple of angles.
We are having a big stink here about these cameras in Naples. The
state is now saying they won't use them for "failure to fully stop on
right turn on red" violations and the vendor wants to pull out because
that is where most of his revenue comes from. It turns out people
don't really run enough red lights to pay for the cameras.


Wow, ok, its clear you have no idea how traffic monitoring works...

At all... Whether or not the traffic is flowing is not determined
visually via cameras but with inductive detector loops in the
pavement which in addition to being able to provide traffic
count information can also be used to provide speed information
when used in pairs, as the time between passing the first
loop and the second loop can be used to indicate speed...

These are the same sort of loops that detect the presence of
a car stopped at a traffic signal to prompt the lights to cycle...

You are driving at such speed on the highway so that you
will not usually notice such detector loops unless you are
specifically looking out for them...

As far as camera resolutions and whatnot, again, clearly
you do not have correct information as to what modern
cameras are capable of... The public would have no reason
to see the secured hi-res feeds from such cameras which
are typically used for law enforcement purposes only...
