Here in the USA, there are many documented cases where the duration of
the "yellow" traffic light was actually shortened at those intersections
having a stoplight camera, in order to increase revenue.

Of course a shorter yellow in this case means that people etiher brake
harder or they speed up to avoid being caught out on the yellow.  

Which increases the chance of an accident.
