NYC Traffic Cameras – Other offenses besides red light?
Hey, because of traffic, I ended up stopping my car in the white, crosswalk section of the street. A “friendly” traffic cop, approached my car, and told me to smile, because the camera on top of the traffic light took a picture of me, and that I would receive a $165 ticket in the mail.
Is that true? I thought they only catch running red lights? Can anyone confirm or was she just busting my chops? (Jersey plates never help…)
He was just yanking your chain… you would have to have gone completely through the intersection to have had a violation because those cameras take a picture of your REAR plate, AND the traffic light showing RED, to prove that you were in the intersection while it WAS red!
Good luck, and, just in case, the link below is to a webpage about Red-Light-Camera tickets and how to fight them…
