Same up here Andrew, and if you put any camera defeating finish on your
plate you get the fine doubled if they catch you. :-) You have to be in the
intersection when the light is red on the first shot it takes AND the
second. It only fires if you entered on a full red. And you are guilty up
here if the lights show that, it's not debatable. Been there tried that.
Judge said tough. The fine here is 135 dollars I seem to remember, and it
doesn't matter who was driving the fine goes to the registered owner of the
car.
