That’s bullshit… The red light camera can be off…way off. I’ve seen the ones in Carmel Valley in Del Mar Heights go off on the wrong time. Also, IF your car is at the shop and your mechanic blows through a red light, guess who ends up getting the ticket in the mail and who has the burden to prove it’s not you???[/quote]

I’m referring to the fine vs the offense, assuming there is an offense. The fact that in some cases the cameras don’t function properly doesn’t make the fine too high for the offense. The enforcement procedure is a different issue to me.

As far as a mechanic running a red light with your car, you could also loan your car to someone who commits hit and run and a bystander happens to get the license plate number. Wouldn’t you agree the cops should at least start by knocking on your door? What’s the difference?
