Came across this by accident. It appears that some legislatures are trying to repeal the restriction on red light cameras for more than traffic offenses.

Public hearing is March 21st. https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2013R1/Committees/HJUD/2013-03-21-13-00/Agenda
The affected laws are below. Specifically, they can now use red light cameras for whatever they want instead of just being restricted to the promises of JUST for traffic violations.
ORS 810.435 is the law they want to repeal, and it's at the end. That's the provision that says you can only use red light cameras for traffic violations.
