I think it had to do with the fact that the insurance companies aren't getting the data, since the fines are civil, not criminal, (Texas ACLU blogger, Grits for Breakfast, has some analysis on contesting the tickets on that basis (if you follow his links, you'll see a lot more discussion on the cameras)), so it does them no good in analyzing who might be a dangerous driver.

ETA: Here's the link with the explanation of the insurance industry's objection: http://www.offthekuff.com/mt/archives/004610.html
