I would be OK with the cameras if they caught only dangerous egregious violations. I got a ticket from one of these once simply for stopping too far short of the right turn line, then it thought I didn't stop when I proceeded to turn. No human cop would ever ticket that.
- ihattendorf 7y agoSomething like 1/10 injuries due to red light running are due to failing to stop on a right turn. There's a reason you're supposed to stop before the line, a pedestrian can appear seemingly out of the blue and suddenly you run into them going 10-15+mph. Should it be a lesser infraction? Probably, but I see far too many cars speeding through right turns without even looking to the right for pedestrians every day.
- lttlrck 7y agoFrom What I understand he’s saying he did stop before the stop line, but a little too early, so when he then made the turn it appeared as is if he hadn’t stopped.
- ihattendorf 7y agoIn that case OP should definitely contest the ticket (assuming OP didn't stop too far back as to not be able to clearly see the intersection). They'll have video that can be reviewed.
