We had the Camera Vans here in the state for a short while, as well as automatic piture taking at selected Red Light running intersections. The state hired a "private contractor" who got a percentage of the tickets to run the program.

The first month or so thousands of tickets were issued. The "people" went nuts, almost riots in the streets over this. The legislature quickly dumped the program but still had to pay millions to the contractor. It's been pretty quiet since the Camera Vans left town. I see Hawaii is not listed on that site.
