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.

Either this is fake or whoever processed it is stupid. A red-light camera takes two photos a fraction of a second apart. They should have been able to tell from the two photos that you were moving pretty slowly into the intersection (being rear-ended wouldn't exactly propel you forwards at 50km/hr). One would also assume they would have been able to see the damage done to your tail. Should be easy to fight, esp. with the police report of the original incident.

It might not be that easy to fight though, there's at least one district and state where a red-light ticket was upheld as a funeral procession went through, following state law, with an officer waving them on, clearly in the picture. It doesnt matter if you're guilty or not. This is guilt until proven innocent.

If your red light camera is like the ones we have here, each one takes a short video each time it activates for a ticket. If you go to court, it will be there for all to see and you to explain, along with the accident report. You did report the accident right?

Juat tell the judge that and stop your bitching.

The ticket gave me the option to contest it by mail, I included a copy of the police report from my accident. Hopefully this will clear it up, because I'm not driving back to Chicago to contest it in person. God knows I'm not paying it.

Where on earth do you live that red light tickets are only $100? When I got one of those, it was $435 - yay for living in California.
