I absolutely agree with you that revenue is a major factor. And also that the lights controlled by these cameras should be mandated to have a reasonable yellow time.

They will still make their money from those who think yellow means "floor it", and from people who can't understand that "right on red" means after you stop, not just "slow down" or "yield".
