Why doesn't it make sense?

And even if accidents to increase then thats just an increase in accidents. If the timing of the lights is left the same then just taking a photo from behind DOES not cause accidents. How can it?
Because the presence of the camera system alters drivers' behavior. The intersections with cameras are publicly known and marked, and drivers change their habits at them.

Just the same way that everyone does the speed limit when driving past a police officer and then immediately speeds back up to a reasonable speed.
