..i am MAD AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!,just got home and opened the mail, and look my car's ass is on Candid Camera!!!!! these things are a fuggin nuisance........$75.00, i remember this night too, i went through the light and was way through it, when it was yellow, and it still flashed god dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am goin to court,i know it is a wild chance , but people have been getting off here in maryland, because some of these cameras are extremely trigger happy.....anybody heard of that cover you can put on your license plate that glares your license out in the event of a flash.....if so where can i get it????????????????????????????? this is insane...anybody else get one of these

 

Get the photo license plate frames. They're like $20 but pics from those cameras don't develop. Be careful though, I'm sure they're not legal

Did it ever dawn on you that yellow means slow down instead of floor it ?? If you'd have stopped, it wouldn't have flashed. If it had turned yellow and you were too close, then it wouldn't have been red by the time the tail of your car was past the white line on the other side of the intersection before the light turned Red.

How can they prove you were driving? I mean, the car is pictured, but ANYONE could be driving it. If it were your parents car, they would get the ticket, but were not driving. So how can the state give a ticket to a car? I have not seen these cameras, but I would claim that a friend or roomate was using the car. It's not like the cops or judge could force you to say who it is. Just lie this time and don't do it again!!

 

Just pay the money you moron and be glad there wasn't a cop to write you a ticket... there are no point from the picture only fine, you go to court and admit you were driving they'll slap you with points also!!!

Just my 2 cents...

 

like i said i was already through this light when it was yellow, dick! but it has occured to me rather clearly that you need to shut the F up, and read more carefully before you think of replying

 

hey dick #2 , next time keep your 2 cents, what you a cop or somethin?
{just my two cents}

 

Dude... just... shutup already.

 

dude im still waiting for mine.........where in MD did u get caught? i got caught near Green Spring

 

Buy a Polarized licence plate cover. They look slightly tinted (Which is illegal) but when a camera takes a picture the cover looks completely black.

 

dude just fu#k off already

 

Take your own advice. For one, I doubt you could have known if it changed while you were under it. Was it a center mounted light or over the far side white line ?? You have to be 100% THROUGH the intersection in your car's entirety to count. If your BUMPER was in the intersection when it turned red, you ran the red light. If you were way thru it when it supposedly turned yellow, you wouldn't have been in the coverage range of the lens by the time it turned red.

And your brilliant whining and cussing and defense of your driving skills just makes your maturity level shine. Glad to know such class shares the likes of a classy car.

thank you all knowledgable and honorable, i am guessing baby boomer.....my whining as you deem necessary to call it, and i deem complaining, of what i consider a nuisance over a light in my area, that recently has come under fire from many people where i live, i clearly outlined the situation and how it happened, like i told the other guy, READ,
.......... i was simply trying to see who else has had an experience with such cameras and more importantly who knows about the license frame, yet i get these know it all replies, often calling names, now that is a sign of immaturity and as you called it a lesser class....yeah my age was shown, and your right , immature....but the snooty little look down know it all comments, whats that all about?.... .....but thanks for the insightful reply, Sherlock

 

That don't mean squat. The registered person and others on the insurance should be the only ones driving...it wouldn't work.

Besides, I'd rather a ticket from the camera than a cop, if a camera gives, it's a $75 fine, if a cop gives, it's $75 fine and 2 points for a moving violation.

yeah i hear your point, the points thing......yuck!!!!, with my insurance premium!, guess i should look at it that way.......wheres the guy from, that had that idea, boy wait till the cameras hit your state man,u mnaybe in for some fines with that attitude , n why would you put a fine on a friend or a relative?, thas a good way to keep both

 

Big Brother Is Watching.

This is such a bunch of crap. There is no way to prove who was driving, but it is OK to fine. Bull. I think that the states are looking for new ways to GAURANTEE more income and revenue. And Shoof, I know the ins and outs too (Police Cadet), and I still think it's bull. If a cop caught the driver, the cop can use personal judgement. With electronics it is clearly a way of saying, give us more money for being one inch over the line, for driving one mile per hour too fast (photo radar), etc. etc. etc.

When does it end!?!

 

Nobody would do anything to prove you were driving, it doesn't work that way, all you get is a fine... speaking from experience.
Now if you were in Europe they shoot you in the face with the camera and you do get everything fine, points and whatever else they have...
And like Shoof the Cop said I also rather have the cameras shoot my picture rather than a cop giving me a hand made ticket!!!

P.S. I'm not a cop but wish I was, would've been easier to get out of the tickets...

yo thas the type of bs that ppl dont seem to know, hidden cameras, soon satellites will be trackin you down, wheres the freedom?

 

BTW, along the lines of what J83 was saying, for those of us who have the Nav. system or Jo-Jack, who's to say that someone (big brother) isn't already keeping an eye on us?

Better stay away from those underground gun and porn stores (j/k)

Does anyone know if the systems in our car are trackable ?? I wouldn't think such a small antenna or system would actually transmit. True the Big Brother syndrome is frightening. And now due to 911 issues, all cellular carrierers have to be able to pinpoint any phone for emergency purposes, and then give that info to insurance who said you travelled more than the 10,000/yr you reported on your policy.. ICK.

Im glad we dont have this shiet in Seattle!!! yet...

 

I thought that the law usually stated that you ran the light if you entered the intersection with the light red.. i.e. if you pull into the intersection while making a left hand turn, and turn as the light turns red, you're not in violation. Correct or no?

 

They have hidden radar there just in the streets if you exceed the speed limit.

In California, we also have red light cameras, and I am glad that they do. I am tired of morons blatantly running red lights. All the red light cameras here are clearly marked with a sign that says: Photo Enforced.

If it's a yellow light, theres no way I'm going to gamble, I'll stop unless I am doing above 40 m.p.h.
