So i was at an intersection waiting for the light to turn red. There wasn't any other car around and there was a known red light camera that takes pictures in the perpendicular direction. The opposite side of me gets a green first. So the green goes on the other side, and then a few secs later for me. I pull forward to make a right turn, when my light is for sure green, and the camera goes off. Did i just get a false red light ticket or can they not give a ticket because the picture will show i didn't do anything wrong. A car did just pull up on the perpendicular lane, suggesting he set off the first trigger and the computer though it was him that set off the 2nd one when it was really me?

 

sounds like you have to wait for 2 weeks to see if you get a nice letter from the DMV

 

You are fine..because the camera takes few shots and will clearly shows that you were making the right turn. You can make the right turn without the green light unless...its says "No right turn on red."

 

Not to mention they often take a pic of the light as well to show what state it was in.

 

^ +1

 

ya they take several pics so it will show that you didnt run the light.

 

oh nice

oh btw, its in nyc so theres no turning on red.

 

^^ thats something new to me because I havent been in Ny for while and wasn't driving last time I went there.

 

hmm.. no turn on red? gay.

 

Thats only in the city itself, No turn on red

 

I'm curious as to why you were waiting at this intersection for the light to turn RED?

 

oops, i meant waiting for the light to turn green.
