There's a video camera along with the still camera. Ask me how I know. 
i figure you either work for the company that runs them, or you're a cop.
my friend said he did go online and watch the video of himself doing it. to me his excuse was that he had his giant-scale zeke in the back of the truck, and he wasn't gonna slam on the brakes.
the thing with these cameras is(to the best of my knowledge) that there is an imaginary box. enter it when the light's red, and you're on candid camera. i don't know how they deal with the right turn on red thing, to avoid ticketing people doing that.
there is also the yellow(
amber) portion of the sequence. i think in nj, by law it has to be yellow for a min. of 3 seconds up to 35mph, and they add 1/10 of a second for every 10mph above 35mph.
there's already been 2(i think) cameras beaten in court, because the timing of the yellow was either too short, or the person was able o prove that the timing has been changed.
thanks to those two fights, the tickets(from what i've heard) come out to you in the mail now at a point when it is too late to try to fight them.
while i don't run red lights, and do agree it is fully wrong, i do not believe in these cameras. they are a revenue generator, and nothing else. read any news article about them, and the first thing the township will brag about is how much they've collected.
if interested in safety, then enforce it manually.
i've seen accidents caused by them, because people stopped at a yellow, when the point they were at they could(and should) have continued right through, and they got nailed by the schmuck that wasn't paying attention.
i understand where they're coming from, but all in all, they are only good for making money for the company that runs them, and the townships that they're located in.
