Is there any actual hard evidence of this? Or is it all anecdotal?

There are also a bunch of court cases where tickets have been thrown out because the yellow time was too short, but maybe you think that counts as "anecdotal" because I can't find a source to cite that's tallied them all up.
People say this all the time, and I've never seen any kind of proof, either.
The only thing people point to is one area in a Houston suburb where they installed red light cameras, and people were so scared of running the lights, they would stop short in the yellow, resulting in more rear end accidents. Hardly a compelling reason to be against these cameras nationwide.
