Guy Hits Traffic Light Camera And Takes Off With It

How many times have you felt this way about a traffic light camera? is this guy a hero or a thief?

19 year-old Manuel Herrera from California crashed his truck into a traffic light camera and it perfectly fell into the bed of his truck, according to Huffington Post. It appears from the picture he was trying to get the camera out but couldn't.

So, he took off with the camera in the bed of his truck!

"We looked over and we see debris flying from one of the video poles, the pole then flipped over into the the back of the truck, then he sped off and even stopped at the next red light"

The police later found Herrera at his friend's house trying to dispose of the camera. He was charged with hit-and-run traffic collision, and grand theft .

His reason for taking the camera, He was late to work! LOL!!

Seriously, we have all been there!

I would love to know your thoughts on the red light cameras, are they good? Are they bad?
