Those cameras are really just another bad investment. The traffic tickets issued with their help are almost always inaccurate and create just misunderstandings. Unfortunately they're all around the United States, so the problem with them is nationwide. I hope they decide to uninstall them from every location, so that we can have fewer problems.
