Red light camera ticket

Yes, a warrant can still be issued for the original violation.

I bet it was Santa Ana, I got one at Warner & Harbor...rolling through the red light...making a right at 5mph. $500.

If that's not oppressive, I don't know what is.

Don't feel bad. I am an LEO and I got a red light camera ticket recently. Doh! After online traffic school, I spent $550.

Well to be fair, the vehicle code does say you must come to a complete stop. When I got my red light camera ticket, I rolled through at 5 mph also.....and the light had been red for only .35 of a second. Did that feel ****ty? Yes.

It isn't oppressive. "The Man" is not trying to keep you down. :-P

It is aggressive enforcement.

Reminds me of the old joke.

A cop stops someone for running a red light. The driver keeps insisting that he should be let go because he "slowed down" rather than stopping as required. The officer tried to explain the difference and the dangers of not stopping, but the driver kept saying that he "slowed down" so everything was ok. Eventually, the officer pulls out his baton and starts hitting the driver with it. He then asks, "OK, do you want me to slow down or stop?"

5 mph is not stopping.

I would just take a photo of the cash and mail it back and call it even. Photo for a photo

Years ago Campbell PD had photo radar, and an individual did this when he got his ticket in the mail. Campbell PD sent back a photo of a pair of handcuffs...

Nuff said!

I'd have to disagree on that one. According to Websters, The definition of Oppressive includes "unreasonably burdensome or severe"

I'd bet half the people in Santa Ana are lucky to bring home $500 in a week. When you're fined $500 for rolling through a red light with a clear view of no oncoming traffic for hundreds of yards........that can make the difference of being able to pay the rent and feed the kids. I'd say that's oppressive. Should a ticket be issued? No question. But the old adage, "The punishment should fit the crime" comes to mind.

Stop, and that won't be a problem. If you can see for 500 yards, you should have seen the sign/light. Whining is reserved for off topic.

As stated, do NOT ignore. Remember, with these tickets you are guilty until you can prove your innocence!
