Before cameras, 0 reported motorists, after cameras, 2 to 3 motorists reported annually, plus my harassment at stop signs and stoplights dropped dramatically.
Really, this is going to come down to personal choice, and everyone is going to have to balance their own considerations.
Myself, I don't see any appreciable likelihood that they'd enhance my safety or anyone else's enough to outweigh the costs and inconvenience, as well as the distractions of maintaining them while riding. I'm carrying enough junk on my typical 100 mile ride that I really don't want to add anything else.
