John McGinnis, Sheriff, Sacramento County, Cali.
"The [Baker Police Department's] number one goal is safety, the second goal was and still is correcting driver behavior; thirdly, its a force multiplier."

It's only ok until someone runs a red light and one of your family members gets killed or maimed... It's not about making money, it's about making people stop for red lights."
