You appear to be drawing a conclusion based on your experience with Portugal and elsewhere in Europe but America has no red light cameras at the majority of intersections and areas with and without and areas that have them and haven't before. In general this correlation doesn't appear to be so universal as you suppose or indeed hold. The citizens of one city or state can "fix" banning red light cameras in theory in many places wherein the citizens can pass initiatives. Those without means regulating those with them just doesn't work in America. America is a country firmly for the rich.
