Chances are that there are probably red light cameras in the city that you live in. These capture an image of every vehicle that doesn't stop at a red light. All of the images are reviews by a human before a ticket is actually issued.

Experts estimate that around twenty percent of all accidents are due to someone not stopping when the light turns red. It can be really dangerous because when people want to run a light they will increase their speed greatly. You can imagine the devastation of getting t-boned from the side at 50 mph or even faster.
As you would expect, people generally are more cautious and slow down if they know a camera is there. Cops are not as effective because obviously they can't keep an eye on every road in America. As a result, cameras are just more practical and cover wider ground.
There is something that you can do in order to minimize the chance of getting hit. Always look right and left when the light turns green. It isn't always safe to go even if your light is green.
Some citizens have accused the cities of using cameras in order to get money. Making money is a possible byproduct but not the intention of cameras. One would expect that offenses would go down after a period of time.
This may sound surprising but in a few cases, rear collisions actually increased as a result of these cameras. This happens when the driver brakes all of a sudden and then gets rear ended.
Although red light cameras decrease t-bone accidents (when a vehicle is hit form the side) but some studies have shown that they have increased rear collisions in some cases. This happens when the driver brakes very hard in order to stop in time and gets hit from behind. However, rear end collisions are usually less serious than side ones.
There has been a backlash against cameras in some states; they are banned in New York. Los Angeles is still on the fence about this issue. Yes, the city does currently have cameras in place. However, the courts have ruled that offenses are not enforceable because there aren't any witnesses who would be able to testify in a court of law.
