How it works: The red light cameras work in conjunction with sensors that are set up in the intersection
which automatically triggers the video cameras when vehicles are going through the red lights. All four tires of
the car must go through the red light. The sensors then trigger the cameras to provide three separate
pictures from the intersection:
One shows the vehicle crossing the stop bar painted at the intersection.
The second shows the vehicle crossing the bar.
The third shows the license plate picture for ticketing purposes.
Violators (always the registered owner of the car) receive a ticket in the mail. This letter notifies the owner of
the car of the violation and gives them access to a website where they can view the video after entering a pin
number. The video will show their vehicle going through the red light at the designated intersection.
Violations are sent to the motorist that is registered as owner by the Motor Vehicle Authority not the driver.
Due to this fact the recipient of the fine is not penalized with any points, their driving record is not blemished
and there is no effect on insurance. Unlike a charge for failing to observe a signal above we suggest that you
pay this ticket if it is in fact your car in the video and picture. Due to the fact that no points, or other penalties
other than monetary fines are charged we suggest that you immediately upon your receipt of the violation pay
the ticket and not fight it. The cost of fighting this ticket will generally outweigh the benefit of getting a not
guilty verdict at trial. However, do not wait to pay the ticket because additional penalties could be assessed
against you if you are late with payment such as additional penalties and even the suspension of your drivers
license.
