Preventive measures for drivers regarding red light cameras:

  1. Would you like to have speed cameras (photo radar) in California?  How about higher sales taxes? Higher car registration fees? A higher gas tax? Or, how about a lower fine for rolling right-turn tickets? As of early 2016, all of these are in bills working their way through the Legislature in Sacramento — or coming soon.  Check the Action/Legis page on my website (see below) for more information.
  2. Warn your friends about Snitch Tickets.  They are fake tickets issued by the police. They are sneakily different from a real red light camera ticket.  And they can be ignored!  Read about them at the top of the Your Ticket page, at www.highwayrobbery.net/redlightcamsticket.htm#Fakes
  3. Also let your friends know that real tickets issued by cities — or the L.A. MTA — in L.A. County can be ignored, because the County court does not report ignored camera tickets to the DMV. (More information is in Set # 2 on the LA County Docs page.)  Educating your friends about these two big classes of tickets that can be ignored will reduce the money flowing to the greedy cities and camera companies and hasten the demise of red light cameras in California.
  4. Do you drive in Culver City, Beverly Hills, Canoga Park, or Millbrae (adjacent to SFO)?  In 2016, those cities greatly expanded their camera ticketing. So watch out!
  5. There is a very practical reason not to shop any more in red light towns.  In the questionnaire on my website, I ask defendants how often they have driven through the intersection where they got their ticket.  While the majority of defendants were caught at intersections they had not visited previously, many were flashed at an intersection they were very familiar with.

Conclusion:  You are not safe from getting a ticket — or getting in an accident — simply because you know there’s a camera there.

It is necessary to change your routine, to eliminate repeated visits to the intersection.  (It’s like playing with snakes — no matter how careful you try to be, eventually they will catch you off guard, and you will get bit.)  The small amount of money you have saved at the big box discount store in that town will be more than offset by the cost of tickets, rear-ending someone, or being rear-ended.

  1. We Agree with Mr. Lissner. We would also like to add:

    CivilLiberty101.com has America’s #1 defense against red light cameras: http://civilliberty101.com/uploads/3/4/8/6/34861678/dont_pay.pdf

    THE CORE PROBLEM: Subjective Yellow Light Law Forces Drivers to GUESS at the Yellow Light!
    & Americans are not give a fair (AND OBJECTIVE) method to obey the law. (The government can’t force us to guess then penalize us for guessing wrong).

    CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE:
    Red Light Cameras Are a Criminal Enterprise Because:
    1) NONE OF THE MONEY IS USED TO STUDY AND RESOLVE THIS QUESTION: What aids to navigation do drivers need to make safer decisions at the onset of the yellow traffic light.

    2) THIS FLAW IN SAFETY (FORCING DRIVERS TO GUESS) IS BEING PURPOSELY PERPETUATED FOR PROFIT.

    Every dime siphoned off from solving this problem is a form of bribery.
    Municipalities are influenced by the constant stream of money coming in.
    They wouldn’t dream -for the sake of saving thousands of lives each year- of turning off that spigot.

    WE BEG YOU TO SIGN THE PETITION AT CIVILLIBERTY101.COM
