The government can't have it both ways man.
Either we stay home, and therefore drive less which slows the spread of Corona virus.
Or we do non-essential driving, which would bring in that revenue, (only from the people actively running the red light of course), but aides in the spreading of the virus, which would therefore risk lengthening the stay of the virus itself.
A quick Google search of "texas red light camera law" will provide several articles. If I remember right, it started with someone fighting against them saying they are unconstitutional since you can't face your accuser in court (the camera)
I do remember that he was a lawyer and won the case with that argument or something similar. Made the city pay for his hefty legal fees. It's a creative argument for sure!
