If you go online, you will find hundreds of examples of people getting tickets that they didn’t deserve from red light cameras. A favorite trick is to shorten the yellow until it is impossible to make it across the intersection before the light turns red.

Also people who have stopped and then made a legal right turn on red get tickets.

Also I’ve seen statistics that show rear-ending accidents skyrocket at red light camera intersections due to people just slamming on their brakes so as not to take a chance of the camera.

“Are you saying you didn’t run the red lights? “

No. According to the ticket itself I was. . . 1/10th of one second into the red.

Going with the flow of traffic on a heavily, heavily traveled urban section of 101 (Park Presidio, San Francisco).

Had I suddenly stopped, I could have been rear ended. The guy behind me, in the photo, clearly was entering the intersection as well.

Also, it is well known that most municipalities shorten the yellow light cycle to get more money.

To top that off. . . $700 dollars. For one ticket that endangered no one.

I don’t think a cop would have issued it.
