    The photo shows a traffic light enforcement, not speed enforcement.

    There’s a road near me that has an unnaturally slow speed limit enforced by a camera. That’s a bit annoying. But, it also has red light cameras nearby. Those are great. I really don’t care what someone’s excuse is: I was distracted, I thought I could make the yellow, the light was taking too long… if you think you really do have a valid case, talk to the judge.

      I made this point in another comment, but these cameras send you bills instead of tickets. They ignore our right to a fair trial and subvert our right to confront our accuser. The only one I’ve received had no info on how to dispute it, just pay or fuck you type of bill.

      A red light camera is no different than a speeding camera in this regard.

        Maybe where you live, not where I live.
