Oh no! We got our first red light camera at an important intersection about 4 years ago. The city said it paid for itself in the first 2 weeks! My dad got a ticket not long after it went up, but it was $250. They are pretty tough to fight, because they go through a few people to review before they get sent out. We have since gotten about 5 more red light cameras around the city.

Oops is right!! They just put up a camera at an intersection that I go through everyday - BUT - I turn right at the intersection - into a yield lane, so I never have to stop or go through the signal light!
 YAY! WHEW!

When we were in Chicago last spring I ran out of toll money and so we had to drive on through one of those man-less booths. They had toll booths everywhere and we figured that we spent $20 on tolls!!! Of course, some of those were because we were lost! LOL Anyway when I got home there was a place online where you could go and pay otherwise they would send you a ticket. They must have had a camera set up too.

I am 64 and never had a ticket.
We have had those cameras at a lot of intersections for a long time. I agree with Judy, just pay it and don't go through the b.s.

Oh, I'm not going to try to fight it. They have me cold. I just thought the circumstances were so kinda funny. I'm driving along, minding my business, and bam, the FedEx truck passes under and there's a red light and nothing I can do to stop. The timing was so perfect.
I was returning to the office from a day in Corpus Christi, and I told my coworkers that I may have been caught by the camera. Seems I was right!! The town where this is happening is making a fortune off these cameras. The street I was on is a divided highway with a wide grassy median between the lanes. I've heard that the city is planning to plant rows of palm trees and landscaping down the median. It's a small coastal town with about 12,000 population.
