Oo0martelle0oO Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 So.... apparently I ran a red light at Long and 4th street down town. Last I checked Yellow wasn't red. Anyone know a way to get it reduced or nixed altogether? $95 is a bit steep for CPD to not even greet me at my window.:thumbdown CPD ---> :nutkick: <--- Me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptn janks Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 usually there is a link on the ticket where you can watch the entire video of you going through the intersection. the camera will not go off unless you cross the stop bar at a good speed after the light has turned red. your speed has a lot to do with it. if go through very slowly, like 10 mph, the cam wont go off. yellow means slow down and stop, not speed up and blast through the intersection as it turns red.

Thanks for clarifying what yellow means. I wasn't gonna hard brake 30-40 feet before the light at 35-40 mph on wet roads. I haven't gone to see the video yet .

Oo0martelle0oO Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Did it turn red while you were in the intersection? I mean, just sayin.. I don't trust these red light tickets. I don't trust them either. I think there a bullshit scam by the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 the ones i've seen have 3 pictures; 1 at the beginning 1 in the middle 1 at the end if you jam your brakes to stop and stop in the middle, the light goes off but you dont get a ticket... These things have been up for 2yrs at 4th and long (where my NTB is)and all I do when we're slow is sit and watch people get busted while at work. the 3 picture deal pretty much spots you guilty. I dont know if there is any debating to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I got nailed a the same one and have talked to many who have also and I am convenced that that light jumg the gun early or has a short yellow or something becouse everyone has the same story that is was green then as they got close yellow and befor they got through it went red all super fast. It seems to only be that certian light too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 watch teh video an bam youll see u ran a red light. Yup. Everyone I know who's gotten a red light ticket has said the same thing. They were 100% sure they went through a yellow light. Then they go and watch the video and it was 100% red when they went through it. Go look at the pictures/video before you start thinking about how to fight it. I think the red light cam thing is BS, but I'm sure this has already gone to the Ohio Supreme Court so you probably don't have any legal ground to stand on if you actually ran the red light.

Oo0martelle0oO Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 After watching the video it was red but I dont care that I got the ticket. I'm more pissed about the fine. $95 for a cop to sit behind a desk look at a photo?!?! Shit give me that job please. They could at least hand deliver it to me. Ill just find a new way to work so I don't have to deal with that BS anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oo0martelle0oO Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 And now I just noticed that I have a brake light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 After watching the video it was red but I dont care that I got the ticket. Same reaction my wife got when she had hers at that same light. She denied it all the way then saw the video and turned red The upside is no points.

Seems dumb to change ur route to work to avoid redlight tickets. .... don't run em u won't get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I thought we just recently passed something where all the red light cameras are being taken down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I'll go search my filing cabinet for a document I wrote up. It's worked for me before for a similar situation. hang on brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I searched my file cabinet and computer and cannot find that letter I wrote - it's been like two years. If you take some time and try to search out (this will be vague because it's been a while) something along the lines of "cannot endanger ones self or be compelled to endanger". It's something like that. You ran that light because the road conditions were poor and you were not going to put your safety at risk - braking at that point would have caused more harm. Get it? Got it? Gewd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS50 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I don't trust them either. I think there a bullshit scam by the city. +1! These are 0% about Public Safety and 150% about generating revenue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFKINPowerz Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 That same piece of shit camera got me a while back.

Right a letter using Black's law, google, and some common sense and see what happens. You guys rally together and bitch so much. If you spent half that time researching and thinking you could save yourself a ride on the 'long dick of the law' more then a few times.
