Red Light Cameras Florida - Photo Enforced Evidence
Approaching an intersection as the light turns yellow requires a split-second decision. Is there enough time to make it through the light or not? If the light turns red before your vehicle enters the intersection, and you proceed, you ran the red light. All the photo and video evidence is looked at. Before and after photos and video confirming you entered the intersection after the red is the evidence. That is why you were issued a Notice of Violation. If you receive a red-light Notice of Violation you can go online and view the photos and video yourself. You have the right to challenge the citation and request a hearing.
A section in your letter will say: To View the image and video or To Make an online payment, go to a specific website, Enter City Code, Notice Number and License Plate number. After examining all the evidence then make your decision and choose your option.
The letter will explain your options. A. Payment Option. B. Hearing Request Option. Or C. Affidavit Option: Identify another Driver, only if you are a rental/leasing agency, the vehicle was in the care, custody or control of another or if the vehicle was sold or stolen.
A red-light traffic violation carries a $158 fine. A hearing will cost you an additional fee if found at fault, “in violation”. At this point when you pay it does not affect your driving record or license. Ignore all the notifications and it escalates to a Uniform Traffic Citation and now it will affect your record and cost more. In a trial the first thing the Judge does is look at the photos and video evidence.
Be alert, drive safely.
