Blahh blahh blahh...everyone on earth has caught a yellow to red before...he who is not guilty may cast the first stone. You goody to shoes need to cool your jets. I'm not condoning "running red lights" but the other day I was caught in the middle of a red light (slow stopped traffic) and it cost me $196 and I had to Leave work early to do it...so yeah I would have loved to have a blocker on my plates.

True... but when you take into consideration that its not illegal to be in the intersection when the light turns red, this is kinda a mute point. Most traffic cameras have a delay on them for the sole reason of my aforementioned tidbit. The amount of the delay varies from intersection to intersection based off traffic flow, number of lanes and type of traffic.

The only reason I know this is that I looked into the traffic camera system a little after getting a ticket for almost the same reason as you got one Westtnfx4. It didnt cost me NEARLY as much as it did you, but I was still pissed.

if you want to add in situational specifics-- and call names-- at least make sure they haven't already been accounted for with delayed sensor activation.

ps- you can mail in the citation payment.

I would hope the OP was using red light running as a reference. It would be more practical for running tolls. I get 3 per month each vehicle and I use them. Toll roads are ridiculous, that's what my tax dollars pay for. I can't believe Jersey tolls I-95.
