I'm sure I'll get tons of down votes but here goes:
Parking tickets [non-moving violations] and property taxes are the primary sources of income for New Haven.
The revenue from moving violations like:
- speeding tickets
- running stops / red lights
- loud mufflers
- bright lights
- loud music
- inspection violations
- tints
all goes to the state of CT -and this would certainly include red-light cameras.
That is why you pay speeding tickets here:

Versus paying for parking ticket here:

NHPD doesn't care about moving violations because there's no monetary gain for NH. That and the 'quiet quitting' of police forces across the nation that may be attributed to [among other things] COVID and George Floyd.
