Red light camera

[AgBow25]

What county did you renew in?

[Froggy]

I got one in Roanoke about a year ago. I was behind an 18 wheeler as we approached the light. I was helping a friend move and was towing a loaded 16 ft. flatbed.

We were traveling the access road on Hwy 114 going uphill. I couldn't see the light ahead because of the 18 wheeler until it was too late. I watched the video and the light turned yellow just a second before I entered the intersection. The yellow light lasted about two seconds. I was almost through the intersection when it turned red. I saw the flash. If I had slammed on the brakes I would have caused the vehicle behind me to slam into my trailer.

I considered going to court but figured my time was worth more than the $75.00 ticket. I think it's chickens***.

If it was just one I would have paid it but I got one every day that week .

Brakes and turn signals are your friends.

I'm not positive on this but read where you would have to resolve these before your DL or state license could be renewed.

They do. Every video is reviewed by a compliance officer (police officer), if they violation is apparent they forward it on to the company as reviewed/accepted. If its questionable, the dont forward it.

You can request a hearing on each citation, sit in a room and view the citation with a monitoring judge. If it wasn't you driving, or you argue your case well enough, it can get reversed, easily.

Its a civil judgment.

My brother called me bitching a few weeks ago about one he got for turning right on red. "I know I stopped 100 percent before I turned, the cameras are bullshat and I didn't do anything wrong"...etc etc.. I showed him how to view it online per his instructions.... He called me back a few minutes later and said...."Well Ill be ****ed, I didn't even slow down before I turned, I dont remember doing that".

But I digress, Red light cameras are evil money making big government conspiracies. I would call the media, complain about the man keeping you down, start a hashtag campaign on twitter...#TearTheTicket or something.

Where can you view these online?

I got one earlier this year, and can't even remember being at the intersection in question. AND, the photos they mailed me even showed the rear view of my car, with the brake lights on.

Depends on the company who runs the program. The link to watch is usually In the paperwork they send.

[CEO]

There are a lot of studies that contradict this. They have decreased right angle collisions but there is a rise in rear ended collisions.

People slam on the brakes trying to stop before the light on yellow and cause more accidents.

I got one once. I thought it was bull crap, they gave me a video of the incident and I ran it really bad. So I paid it.

I believe the law states you have to come to a complete stop when making a right on red.

I got mine in Houston on West Rd. I didn't remember ever being in the area. I was already planning my defense, which would be easy since I was never there. Clicked the video link and saw the ol Powerstroke roll right through the red light. That was the day the wife made me go to the furniture store so I just blamed her.

In louisiana its a civil penalty. Most people throw in trash. Nothing can be done other than sending annoying letters.

I avoid cities with red light cameras! Cleveland had them the last few years. I avoided the city as much as possible. Shopped somewhere else! Tell the businesses how you feel about it. I do!

How hard is it to see us mere mortals from up there?

[Lanceknny]

I'm going down to the courthouse in morning and try to renew . I did it online and they revoked it .

The way they get around the sixth amendment with these cameras is that they make the red light cameras not criminal violations, but civil violations. There's no criminal penalties,and not criminal process, so there's no need to confront the witness, and yet they can put a hold on your registration because that is an administrative civil process. It's totally bull****, and I don't know how it's legal, but that is what it is.

This is true. I think it's unconstitutional. However, this us how they get around ghe criminal process and your civil rights. You gave no way go fave Hou accuser because your accuser is a camera.
BTW, as you know, you can turn right on red unless it is otherwise posted. Where people screw this up us ghat they don't know that before you execute a right hand turn on red, you MUST come to a complete stop. Not sure of you knew that or nit, bit figured I'd put it out there. I'm sure someone who reads this didn't know that.
