Built-in scapegoat

The reason that red-light cameras aren't that great a political issue is people's anger at the cameras is easily misdirected back upon their fellow drivers. Sure people don't like getting tickets but this is muted by their greater joy at the thought of the universally despised "other" drivers getting what they deserve. Never underestimate the small-minded pettiness of the average citizen.
