The biggest, most shameless camera promoting newspaper of them all, The
Washington Post, has examined accident data in the District. It found
accidents jumped 207 percent at intersections where red light cameras
were installed:

These findings should not have been a surprise, as they are consistent
with previous studies:

I look forward to reading the Post's editorial page explaining this one
away.
