Red Light cameras are at worst borderline criminal and at best unsafe. At our intersections with RLCs we have had more accidents than we did without them. Because California ass f­uc­ks you with the ticket (360 to 400 dollars) people are inclined to slam on their breaks to avoid crossing that cross walk. I got one the first year I was driving. 6 am, heading to a local fishing lake for the day. Doing the speed limit, and the road was totally empty. I am approaching the light and it goes yellow, and before I have time to react it goes red and there I am in the intersection, bam flash. Nothing I could do. Had I slammed on my breaks, I would have skidded into the intersection anyway. Ruined my, well, whole month. Got sent an expensive ass ticket, had to go to traffic school. They are nothing but a revenue generation racket for the city. They don't make thing safer. They are just designed to bend us over backwards and -blam!- us of our money. Californians used to be able to fight these tickets. The best defence was, "I want to face my accuser." Unless a representative wanted to fly out from Arizona to testify, you usually would have the ticket dismissed. Not any more however. California put a stop to that because, "MUH TAX MONEH!" Seriously, this whole state can go f­uc­k it's self. God knows it already jacks off to the thought of f­uc­king the people who live here.

Wow those lights are basically creepy for our rights. Thought you had to be stopped by a cop to get a ticket not just roam around town and getting caught on camera... Do they have a sign stating tht light is used for tickets? We have some in our town but police said it's just for survallience of traffic not to enforce.

At least it's only $50 and no points on your license. If you really want to get out of it, go to court and tell them to prove it was you driving.

lol, mine was 400. But yea, same exact scenario.
