Hunh? I've seen the exact same debate on blogs, (like GGW). In fact, the recent article on speed cameras demonstrated that people can believe that the having more cameras is a revenue-generating "scheme." I didn't get the sense that any of the commenters were "speed panderers" but simply had an opposing view.

Here, the only apparent follow-up was to Shapiro's statement and even he agreed that blanket coverage isn't a good idea. That doesn't mean he's "pandering to speeders" because he think there is merit to that argument.

The biggest distinction I see in the answers is that Shapiro's statement was centered around a "balanced" approach neither supporting "blanketing the city" nor "reducing the number of cameras" while the others focused on (as you mentioned) the complaints of the program.

It's possible to think that the idea of speed light cameras ticketing you for blowing through a green light is a revenue generator and NOT be a speed panderer.
