I went through when the light was yellow and then when I was nearly halfway through the intersection, the flash from the camera goes off. What do you think will happen?

If you were in the intersection when the light turned red, then you are guilty of running a red light (failure to obey a traffic signal).
Because it means you did not obey the amber light, which if you did, you would have stopped.
Been there, done that, got the ticket, paid the fine.

You get a ticket for blowing a red light. The camera is supposed to take the picture at the instant the light turns red, so your defense is that you didn't enter the intersection after the light turned red, but were already in the intersection when it turned red. You should win.

You can go with that story, but the camera is designed to take pictures of light-runners. It should distinguish clearly whether you ran it or not. The technology has been refined to exclude people in your situation, despite your belief of when the picture was taken.
Basically, wait it out until you get the summons and review the pictures. May be you have a challenge, but it is hard to beat the technology right now.
I think the sicence has not been scrutinized by many defense attorneys as traffic violations are such small issues, but the science is probably pretty reliable.

i could continuously combat a digital camera value ticket. oftentimes I in basic terms say pay your value ticket and don't do it back. inspite of the undeniable fact that, crimson gentle cameras are this variety of rip-off. study after study has shown that increasing the size of the yellow gentle makes for a some distance extra secure intersection than one with a digital camera. yet I digress. As somebody else stated, it could no longer have taken a image of you. If it did, in basic terms pass to court docket and cause them to instruct that the sunshine become crimson and which you have been working the motor vehicle. I have been given one some months decrease back. i become arising on the intersection and the sunshine grew to become yellow at a bad time. I the two had to easily pass in the time of the intersection or slam on the brakes. So I went in the time of the intersection. the sunshine become yellow by making use of the time I exited the intersection, so i did no longer act unsafely or maybe illegally in maximum places. yet I have been given a cost tag interior the mail, so I in basic terms referred to as the city prosecutor and raised this variety of stink that he disregarded it.

If you are in the intersection when the light turns red you have run the light. Pay the clerk on the way out. Have a nice day.
