(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 ****!

You still have to stop to turn right on a red light, it's like a stop sign buddy. Where did you learn to drive? This is common sense here and the court will see it exactly as that.
