You don't have red light cameras? I bet you do and you just don't realize it.
We did in a few areas, people shot them/cut them down or had the local ordinances changed. It's only in columbus proper that we have them in some areas.
I always say, if they're going to charge me $75 for a picture of the back of my car, at least make it a good picture lol.
Theres no record of these types of things, its just a money grab. I'm all for standing on principle, but $75 isn't worth the hassle of showing up in court, etc.
Someone had told me that you can contest those tix without going to court? Maybe by Zoom?
I don't have a problem with red light cameras, running red lights is a major problem...but when they send tickets to people who are stopped at the light its a little problematic lol
I can think of one (possible) explanation for what happened.....although I wouldn't bet the farm on it. Some guy ran the light in front of you while you were coming to a stop, the system, for some reason didn't react fast enough (it usually reacts at the electronic speed of light), and, by the time the camera took the shot, the guy was far enough ahead of the intersection, out of the camera's view, that the camera got your stopped vehicle instead. The judge might (?) actually listen, for you were obviously not in the intersection when the camera went off.
As you say, definitely a better image on-line. Perhaps I spoke a little too soon about them using junk-cameras....but they are still junk if they aren't reacting properly.
So, this is a situation of the picture that came with the ticket just not doing a good job of showing me what happened. I deserve the ticket. I rolled through the red making the right hand turn. Its just that the picture that came with the ticket is only of my car at the line, with no data, speed or anything like that which doesn't tell anybody anything. When you go to the website...there's a video
Agreed. I based my previous comments on the condition that you actually were stopped. And, although you and I have had our disagreements, I commend a person with honesty.....Thank you.
I just looked it up - if you didn't have EZ Pass, that Mid-County to Clark's Summit leg on the PA Turnpike jumps from $14.90 to $30.90.
So, on the one hand, people may not realize what the tolls are when they don't pay cash; but on the other hand, they try and "encourage" you to use EZ Pass by charging a lot more without it.
Whoa, check out this interesting green BMW M6 I saw at the car wash. It looked awesome in person and appeared to have the baseball glove color interior. Really cool color, never seen anything like it.
