(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.

please dont talk like i dont know hot to drive....
its also called the CALIFORNIA stop or HOLLYWOOD stop, and im a CA driver..
anyways looking at the video, i have no defense because the law is to come to a complete stop......im just saying how stupid the ticket is as the fee is the same as running a red light. sigh.

Because that's what it is. the light was red and you ran through it. at low speed or high speed, you still didn't stop at the red light.
