Can't a person still take his case to court? Is it not possible to argue that the cameras are defective, timing incorrect, photo is blurred and doesn't clearly show the person's vehicle, etc? I have never read an article anywhere that said the results of a camera taking a picture of someone going through a red light were "not negotiable." Do you have a source for that?

I Charlotte, NC they are "not negotiable". Your ONLY two choices are pay the fine or prove you were not driving the car and give the name of the person that was. Malfunctioning cameras are not a defense.

Comming soon to a city near you...

The reality is that you can easily spend $500 in lawyer fees and lost time from work to fight it, or you can pay about half that for the ticket.

Sure, you might be able to "win", but you don't get your court costs back. They know it, and price the fines accordingly.
