They are a net revenue producer:

The city says that since 1993, it has spent roughly $85 million on the red light camera program and has taken in about $130 million in fines.

And it reduces injuries:

The study compared the 12-month period before installation of a camera at an intersection with the 12-month period after its installation, and found that over all, the number of injuries fell by an average of 24 percent.

Seems like a win-win to me.
