Rockville City Police disagree and say their strict enforcement is the correct approach.

Unfortunately when you make the argument that red light cameras are OK for slow rolling right turns, they have exposed themselves as it being just a revenue vehicle and not about public safety.
Right turns have the smallest amount of injuries (almost zero in fact) and property damage ... so why should camera tickets even be addressing these minor infraction? Only for da money is why...
Why have cameras at all? Roundabouts achieve the same goal except are better, much much better. So why not roundabouts? Because painting a circle costs about 2 dollars ... where are all the kick backs from that?
Cameras are all about safety? Then right turns should not enter into the picture. Ever.
