September 3, 2010 > Letter to the editor: Red light cameras Letter to the editor: Red light cameras I often see panhandlers at freeway off-ramps. I wonder if they are really homeless, down on their luck or if they are scamming us? I see that Hayward's cameras generate more than $500,000 in tickets/citations each month at the A Street on-ramp onto I-880. What is the real purpose of this technology? Public safety or revenue?
