Where is the light in Encinitas? I can never get the light by the train stop. Apparently you can call a number and the city has within 24 hours to fix the weight sensor at traffic lights.

The press in the SF bay area did a cluster of stories a few years ago about the 'epidemic' of red light running' that had been uncovered by these cameras. It turned out that the people who insall the cameras (and share in the fines) cut the time between yellow and red, thereby creating a 'crisis' that needed to be addressed. By installing more cameras, no doubt.
I ran a red light -well more than one .But one was memorable.I was 19;that was in 1964.The cops in an unmarked car gave chase.I,in tune, gave them "The Finger."Despite what you may believe,this was a stupid thing to do.
Oh.then I tried to escape by riding on sidewalk,scattering people as in a movie scene.Still not too brilliant.
Inspite of all my best efforts,they "apprehended me."
In those days cops had,thankfully,more dicretion in handling the situation.Mind you that this happened in VERY IRISH Boston w/ very Irish cops arresting very Irish kid.I got a loss of right to drive,tossed around by cops,really tossed around by my father[former boxer],and tossed around by boxing insructor [Father Flaherty]
Cops got[each]bottle of "Wild Turkey",or John Jamison Whikey.
Dad got PISSSED OFF plus Tullamore Irish Dew.
Oh,Father Flaherty got a clean shot at my jaw.
These actions helped me to recover from a case of TSB--that is TERMINAL SPERM BUILD-UP.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I don't know if they are leagal in your area, but a guy I ride with has a license plate cover designed to get around these cameras. Looking straight at the plate-all loooks normal. If you get off to one side-looking at it from an angle-you can only see to the center line of the plate. This reduces the viewable numbers on the plate from 6 to 3 making it almost impossible for someone to trace the plate.

Just another reason to wear a full face helmet.
Here in the valley of the sun (Phoenix Arizona Metro) if you have a full face helmet on and are photographed by a redlight camera or one of the new speeding cameras out on the loop 101 they just throw it out.
Hell when I'm wearing my full face helmet with gold reflective face shield they can't even tell my skin color, age, race, or nationality

Re: Chuck the ticket, Jack
I'd like to see the rate at which people who receive these things reply with the correct information.
The "nomination" is a very official looking notice and I'm sure most people are easily fooled into thinking it is an actual citation.
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm stickin' it to the man!
There's no way to tell who's riding that motorcycle anyway!

Up here in greater Cheeecaago, the parking police deposit tickets faster than pigeon droppings. My car was ticketed for expired plates-they were 2 months old. My 'glide' was ticketed for parking in a valid parking zone by a streets and sanitation supervisor-that one was thrown out. They now go into private parking garages and ticket any vehicle that doesn't have a city sticker. There is a large budget shortfall and Mayor Daley is looking for revenue anywhere he can get it. They operate on the idea that most people will pay the bogus ticket rather than take the time to fight it-and it works! Oh, and by the way, if anyone is considering coming to the Windy City for the
'Taste of Chicago', beware, it is like a feeding frenzy.

Do the right thing Buz, confess. i.e. send back the thing saying you were riding the vechicle during the said offense. I think the next step if you don't respond is they ticket the owner. Let us know if that happens..

Man, so they finally put speed cameras on the 101, damn. At the right time of day/week, it was like a race track on the damn thing. You could do 85-90 and still be passed regularly...unless of course traffic has increased in the past 2 years.

Odd, the cameras have been around since at least 1998 in Arizona. I'm not sure but I believe he was still frying people in Texas at the time...
