Four of the most common questions I receive from visitors are the following with regards to “I saw a flash, did I get a photo enforced ticket?” Most of these cases below DO NOT result in a violation for the following reason. To receive a red light camera violation most cameras require the vehicle to be traveling through the intersection at a minimum speed.
1) I saw a flash when making a left turn.
2) I saw a flash when making a right turn on red.
3) I was stopped in the middle of intersection due to stopped traffic in front of me.
4) I stopped my car over the cross walk line.
How long does it take to get a photo enforced ticket in the mail? Usually five business days it will be mailed to the registered vehicle owner if a positive match can be identified.
We would appreciate comments from anyone with additional information or experiences to share.

I have a question. I was crossing into the intersection as the light turned red (I did this to avoid a rear end accident or skidding and stopping in the intersection). I was crossing the white lines (stopping lines) when the light turned red. Will I get a ticket? If so how long will it take since I am in the East Coast and my permanent residence is on the West Coast?
Actually the dirty secret of these systems is that the vast majority of tickets are issued to drivers making a right turn on red who do not come to a comets stop. It varies by location but may be 60 to 95 percent of all tickets issued.
