Hello all

Hey folks. New forumer here.
Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.
As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.
I drive a Honda Civic and we all know how those are when it comes to theft. On my driveway my brothers car was stolen twice and once broken in to. Also a few other cars have been stolen on my street. I have an alarm and all that. But say my alarm was going off and I ran outside and fought off the…

E-mails as evidence at trial?
Hello
I received an email from a city employee that works for that city's traffic department confirming that the vehicle detection loops were not working (damaged due to construction) when I received a ticket for going through a red light.
2 questions plz. Can I print out the email an introuce as evidence at trial? Also, would that be a defence I could use (ie.detection loops not working properly)?
Thanks.
Re: E-mails as evidence at trial?
I don't think the e-mail would be accepted as evidence. You'd probably need to call the City employee as a witness, or possibly at the very least get some type of notarized letter.
As for your second question, which detection loop are your referring to? The one that changes the light? Are you saying the light wouldn't change at all?
Not sure that would be an acceptable defence, or if the Courts would simply expect you to make a right turn versus going straight through.
Re: E-mails as evidence at trial?
Thanks Stanton that is what I suspected about the emails.
Detection loops that sense when car is ontop to change lights. My argument was going to be that those loops are integral part of the traffic light system. If one part of that system was not working properly (ie. loops) then there is a possibility that the lights werent working as they should.
thanks again.
