Presume they're to monitor public order during the festivities tomorrow.

Wouldn't be worried.

Nothing illegal about driving through an amber light.

Although amber means stop if it's safe, I can't imagine you'd get done for running an amber. Cameras are Probably to monitor tomorrow's parade anyway.

Usually their cameras are for general monitoring traffic and people movement.

As said, amber means "stop if safe" so if you're too close when it switches from green to amber, keep going.
