This is fucked up, they're risking our lives to rob the people. ::)
LEAGUE CITY — More than 1,700 drivers given red light camera tickets in League City are due refunds, the city’s police chief said Monday.
The citations are being dismissed because the time it takes for the traffic light at FM 518 and Interstate 45 to change from yellow to red is less than state law requires....the time between a yellow light and a red light was 4 seconds, when the state requires it to be 4.7 seconds
A bill to prevent this so-called "short cycling" was recently introduced in the Arizona state legislature.
Elsewhere, Jonathan Berr's post Shorter Yellow Lights: Are They Your Town's Latest Cash Cow? points to the National Motorists Association's summary article, 6 Cities That Were Caught Shortening Yellow Light Times For Profit. Here are the yellow-light standard times.

It's so obvious. The govt. does not care about you, they care about their pockets. Safety takes a backseat to the cash...keep that money train rolling!
