I received a redlight camera ticket. It shows my car in the first picture at the line, but the 2nd picture shows an empty intersection.
Is this enough to get the ticket thrown out? If so, how should I go about doing it?

Re: Redlight camera ticket help
were you making a right hand turn? and what was the speed that it showed you were going?
Re: Redlight camera ticket help
The speed it shows is 78km/hr, but then again, I doubt the speed radar is tested before and after each use for it to stand up in court.
Also, the pictures show no street signs at all.
Re: Redlight camera ticket help
Red light cameras use induction loops buried in the ground to measure speed, not radar. If the speed didn't hold up in Court, they wouldn't be of much use.
As for street signs, I don't believe there's any requirements they be visible, just imposed info on the photo itself providing a location.
Re: Redlight camera ticket help
Shouldn't any speed measuring device to be used in court hold up to the same scrutiny? If radar / lidar needs to be tested before and after each use, I'd imagine ground induction loop would need to as well.
As for the location, there's no info on the photo that seems to indicate location. The info overlayed are: Time,Date,Lane,Amber,Code,Red,Photo,Speed.
Re: Redlight camera ticket help
My brother got a redlight camera ticket for a right turn. He told me that the picture showed his car as green color, but it's actually
blue color. My question...in this day and age of high technology if a camera cannot make out the color, how come we should rely
on its reliability and talk about induction loops and such?
Re: Redlight camera ticket help
Your not being charged with speeding. I can use a radar to stop you for speeding but if i decide to not charge you for speeding I do not test the radar after. You are being charged with going through the red light only.
I believe the loop is just used to trigger the camera that a a large metallic object is moving through the intersection. Otherwise they would have to take a photo of every car going through the intersection.
There is a speed you can go and the camera will not trigger.
OPS
PS just so it is clear a radar/lidar does not need to be tested after each use. Only at the start of the shift and at the end of the shift. It does not need to be tested after a ticket issued
Hi There,
I was driving on Eglinton W and turn right on Strathearn (near Eglinton/Allen Road). There was a no right turn (from 3pm to 7pm) sign which I didn't see.
The cop was waiting there, apparently nobody sees the signs but they are there.
I don't believe I have much to do here but, trying to find…

I know this technically doesn't fit on this board (3 demerit points) as it seems that 15km/h over just means a 50 dollar fine, I would like some advise though, I'm not sure how I should proceed.

Quick question about debris (broken taillights ect) from an accident and responsibility.
If someone hit something that broke off (not cargo), but 30 minutes after the original accident and other cars managed to avoid everything. The debris was avoidable who is responsible for damage to that car.
Need some advice on reaching a plea deal with the prosecutor and how to go about talking to the crown. I'm not here to be lectured ect. I'm aware I made a mistake, and need advice on fixing it. So kindly keep comments about my impulsive decision to yourself.

I'm 19 with a g2 license. Was…
Hi there,
I was just wondering if this is legal? From what I interpreted from the HTA, it is legal but the wording is very vague.
My car as of right now (stock) has the:
Inner light (closest to grille) as orange (on when parking lights/headlights are on and blink when turn signal is activated)
Outer…
