Traffic cameras should be removed

To the editor:

I propose that cities, such as Cedar Rapids and Des Moines, take away the use of traffic light and speed cameras.

The cameras have been known to have malfunctions and not work causing people to pay for something that they did not deserve. There needs to be a change because the cameras that are being put up are corrupt.

I feel like they should either take the cameras down or notify you a couple of miles before the cameras that they are up. You are not notified until it is too late to react. The results from this may be safer driving. The people that go through these cameras slow way down at the cameras and then speed up again until the next camera and then slow down. This can cause people behind them to have to slam on the brakes so they do not rear-end the person in front of them. If the speed cameras were eliminated, it could cut down on collisions.
