I have no problem with red light cameras except for the fact that in the UK (at least) they seemed to be a precursor to the dreaded speed camera.

Too many people run red lights around Boston. It happens all the time. The fact is that there is a yellow light that tells you that the light is about to turn red, and (assuming that it is timed correctly) if you miss that light then either you were speeding excessively or you were deliberately trying to squeeze through when you shouldn't have.
