Which auto club? The auto club I belong to is a bunch of guys with old
German cars in Virginia. They probably don't carry much clout in
Sacramento.

Yes, but this is not an argument against red light cameras, this is an
argument against sleazy local governments that try and use them as revenue
sources instead of for improved safety.
If they are installed and set up for safety reasons, they will actually
improve safety. If they are installed and set up to make money for the
city, they will make money for the city and actually decrease safety.
Which one will be the case in your locality? Call your mayor and ask.
