    Automated Red Light enforcement sucks!

    Yes I ran the red light and if a cop was there and saw me do it, I would have no problem with the ticket.

    Sucks to open the mail to a $75 ticket.

    Seems there's just something fundamentally and constitutionally wrong with not being able to face your accuser.

      What really sux is when an employee runs a red light, your 350 miles away and get the ticket because the truck is registered in your name....

        I got one of those once,
        was raining and no way I could stop cuz the car behind me would've plowed right thru us.
        I was p/o'd when I opened that letter

            Yup that sux but....it's better than a knock on the door, with a Travis County Sheriff standing there serving you divorce papers and you then find out....20 grand is gone from your bank account as well


            Guess that V10 still guzzles across the intersection in fine fashion?!?!?!?

                Some of the cameras in Dallas get a really good picture of the driver. Made me question the faces I make when I'm driving...

                  I've gotten one.

                  I asked for my day in court. They dismissed it.

                      I got it in Sugarland last week. Bumper to bumper traffic running about 40 mph and the car in front of me slammed on the breaks. Of course I'm out in the intersection and the light seemed like it just flashed yellow, the red.

                      I saw the flash of the camera and knew what to expect in the mail in a week or so...

                      I'm still debating if I'm gonna pay it. It hacks me and I'm sure the fine in Sugarland will probably run around $150.00

                        They suck! Mine was $150 in 2008 in Kenner! 18wheeler in front of me took forever to get through light went behind him to see it was red. Got my ticket in the mail 2 weeks later...

                          There will be a video of before during and after the " alleged" violation.....if you are stuck in the intersection take it to court.....they will probably dismiss.....it cuts in to their profit margin!!

                              We voted those darn things out in Houston.

                              Nothing but a money grab using safety as a disguise.

                              There's not really even any stastics out there that factually show that red light cameras make intersections safer. Actually the data is skewed all over the place. Some intersections in Houston actually showed increased acidents with the cameras.

                              Slipperly slope if you ask me. Most of these citations aren't even moving violoations. Makes you wonder...
