Today, I got a red light camera ticket for $100 in the mail. After checking the date and time, I realized it was from when I was rear ended into the intersection while STOPPED at a red light. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was given a ticket for running a red light. The reason? I was moving out of the way of an ambulance. The police officer watched it go by. FML
Today, I went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. FML
Today, after a costly fix for my brakes that failed a while back as I was going down a hill, I found a $130 bill in the mail attached to a speed camera photo of me shitting myself. FML
Today, I was pulled over and given a ticket for a broken tail light. On the way to the mechanic. To get my tail light fixed. FML
Today, a cop rear-ended me. Then I received a ticket from him for driving too far under the speed limit. We were in a school zone. FML
Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket in the mail, at the same time as my car was getting towed. FML
Today, I received a traffic ticket by mail, presumably for speeding. Not a big deal, if my car hadn't been totalled three months ago. My driver's license is expired, too. FML
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket while driving to my court date for a prior speeding ticket. FML

Hah, ouch. Good luck getting out of that one. If there was police involvement when you got rear-ended it shouldn't be hard.

Well, surely you can see the car that rear-ended you in the picture. So, it should be fairly easy to contest.

you can contest those things. especially if you filed an insurance claim that day. but well see

Actually technically if you end up braking the law or even hitting another car at the result of someone rear-ending you it is still your fault as most likely you were not stepping on the brakes hard enough or not on it at all.

You are an idiot. No one in their right mind would step on the brakes if he gets rear-ended. You actually ignore the brakes, release the hand brake and hit the clutch. Thus you minimize damage both to your and the other guys car, not speaking of minimizing the health risk.

You want the energy from the other persons speed to transfer to your movement instead of it damaging your car.

You shouldn't stop so close then. You were probably pulled up way too far for someone to hit you for you to get a ticket for it.

was the driver of the car behind you screaming and swatting at a bee?

Wouldn't the picture show that you were rear ended? And how fast were they going, when you get rear ended it's not like your car goes rolling into the intersection... I don't see how this is possible.

If the OP does as I do sometimes and put their car in neutral at the light and took their foot off the brake, they would easily roll forward when they got hit. This IS plausible, however, the ticket can definitely be fought.

actually your car can go rolling into the intersection when rear-ended. It's why they recommend that if you have to pause at an intersection before turning across traffic, you keep your wheels parallel - in case someone rear-ends you, then you won't be pushed into the path of the on-coming traffic whose path you're about to cross. Nobody does that, but it is recommended.
