Many/most times it changes before they get through the intersection. Cameras on problem lights would be a great thing, in my opinion. And I'm unaware of any "rights" that would be violated, other than the right to do as I please.

You honestly believe that all people passing through a red light have done so intentionally? You discount drivers who are talking on the phne ,texting,looking in the mirror to see if their hair is in place, reaching down to pick something up from the floor or seat, turning around to yell at the kids in the back seat, unfamilar with a location, unaware of the stop sign, blinded by the sun, rain water splashed by another car passing, snow storm blocked by a large vehicle driving ahead headlights etc. You may want to re-think your position..
