[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1220449, member: 14668"] After 24 years of accident and ticket-free driving, I got hit by a red light camera in my personal car. I was driving on snow, doing 23 MPH in a 45 MPH zone (the cameras also have radar and will issue speeding tickets), and as I approached the intersection the light turned yellow. I slowed down, preparing to stop, but in my rear view mirror I could see a car coming up behind me going too fast. He started fishtailing, and I had to make a split second decision about whether I was going to get rear ended or not. I pulled forward to keep him from hitting me, crossed the line after the light went red, and got my picture taken. I went to court and made the mistake of going before the judge instead of asking for a jury trial. The judge (who is probably a shill for the traffic school) said I could either plead guilty and pay the $400 fine, or spend $200 to attend and online "traffic school" after which the charge would be dismissed and my driving record would remain clean. I bit my lip, coughed up the $200 and took the class. I dont have a problem with the red light cameras but the manner in which they are being enforced around here is downright corrupt. [/QUOTE]
