Received a ticket by mail....looked up the citation number (web link) on the internet which showed my vehicle going through the red light....ticket by mail $75...photo of my tahoe going through the light "priceless"....damn what a good looking SUV... 20" rims, stainless steel exhaust tip, and nerf bars..by far the sharpest vehicle i've owned...

Is there points issued with this?

no points can be issued....no arrest warrant can be issued on citation by light camera...just $75 down the drain....I knew I was had saw the reflection of the flash from the camera on my side view mirror (passenger side). You can turn an affidavit if someone was test driving a car (applicable to car dealers)..if you do not pay, the amount will be increased to $100 and added to the registration renewal....Big Brother is all over Dallas, TX...still damn good looking truck..

I agree... it is a sickening feeling when that flash goes off... you just kissed away an amount equal to a tank full of gas...what really is a bummer is that camera intersection yellow lights have been set to change a second or so less than non-camera intersections..There are some cities that have taken them down because of rear-end collisions and lawsuits that state that citation by private companies (they set up and maintain the lights for a cut of the fine) is illegal....Hopefully, some day I will get my money back...(yeah right)

Looks like you had a lot of company going thru the intersection, even some after you.

It appears that only the left turn lane is red. The traffic straight through the intersection has a green light.

All that anti-speed camera or anti-red light camera crap doesn't work. Just saw an episode of "Myth Busters" the other night which they proved that none of that stuff works.

I think it's just the left turn red, the others still had green.

Man... That sucks. Traffic cameras are a thing of the future here apparently. I don't see any except in Raleigh. The Plateblocker spray will block 2 or 3 letters, but the police can still look up the letters that they can see and the make and model and probably still pin you with it.
