Why are they so interested?

After discussing an effort by some to urge the "federal government to encourage states to adopt automated enforcement laws to reduce red-light running," Radley Balko notes the following:
What Alexander and Ladies' Home Journal don't disclose in the article, however, is that the National Campaign to Stop Red Light Running is funded by three private companies: Affiliated Computer Systems, Gatso USA, and Redflex, Inc. All three are in the automated traffic enforcement business, and all three stand to make millions should the campaign prove successful. That's a pretty big omission.

Bootleggers and Baptists abound. Surely those companies are only concerned about the safety of of drivers.
