(1) if the fact that i was turning right on a red helps my case at all? it's not like i was plowing straight thru a light!
From what I understand, the sensor that is aimed at the right turn lane does not activate the camera if you had made a full stop before the limit line & then proceeded through the red light after checking for cross traffic. If you rolled through & over/past the limit line without a complete stop, then the is camera activated...

I know that in LA County, the fine is approximately $356. This might vary slightly by County.

just because CA is in a defecit doesnt mean i need to get a 400 DOLLAR TICKET for having to come to a COMPLETE stop in which in my head i STOPPED to check the intereserction
i stopped and saw that no car was going, so i went.
would i be able to sue the city back for wasting my time for a retarded ticket? i mean actually catch people that are speeding or driving drunk for christs sake!

my friend was also telling me that next time the camera flashes, i should crash the car right after so that i can sue the city that they gave me a seizure and made me lose control thus getting a new car.

i know some of u guys always joke just because of my username, let me know in an UNBIAS way please.
i mean ive been a law abiding drivier, sticking to the speed limit and then this ****!

It doesn't matter that you figured it was safe by the other cars turning. The law is that you need to STOP at a red light, even if you're going to turn right and there's no sign saying you can't, the light is still RED which means you need to come to a COMPLETE STOP before proceeding. If that isn't what you did, then you broke the law regardless of how many other laws you follow you broke this one and it is your fault.

And it isn't your username that people make jokes about, its what you post.
