  1. How they can tell if you entered on a Yellow by Foo2rama · · Score: 1 · on Red-Light Camera Ticket Revenue and Short Yellows

    The ones in SoCal have 2 systems a video system as well as a Camera to show you are in the intersection on a red. If you fight it, they will bring the video to show you did in fact enter on red and not yellow.

    also here is a link of what happened in Costa Mesa CA with to short of a yellow... lets just say everyone got refunded... http://www.highwayrobbery.net/redlightcamsdocsCostaMesaMain.html

  2. We had this happen in California by Wiseleo · · Score: 1 · on Red-Light Camera Ticket Revenue and Short Yellows

    Please see http://www.highwayrobbery.net/ for details (it's a site about how to beat these tickets).

    Short version: these cameras decrease safety. Someone was kind enough to rear-end my vehicle for stopping at the end of yellow. In another case, a police vehicle nearly smashed into me. If there was no such camera, I would have behaved differently.

    Please don't believe this person. You DO NOT have to identify the driver and there is NO LAW COMPELLING YOU TO DO SO. I encourage anyone interested in this subject to read this: http://www.highwayrobbery.net/redlightcamsticket.htm#NotMe

    It does not appear that just because you are captured on camera it is an automatic conviction. Look at the statistics for cities listed here.

    For example, look at San Francisco's 2004 statistics and you'll see that out of 29,335 "raw" violations, only 7,943 citations were issued.
