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:

AR2005100301844.html

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.
