    Failure To Stop At Red Light (Camera)
    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: CA

    I was caught by a camera passing a red light at 4:14am. However I was turning right at the intersection. does it make any difference? Can I contest such a ticket? Is this violation as bad as passing a red light?
    I got a 435$ ticket, does it fit what I did?

    If you ran a red light, you got a ticket. Even if you were turning right, you can turn right on red after you make a complete stop.

    Don't see why not.

    Passing a red light and failure to stop at a red light are the same thing.

    Ooch! Thats gonna hurt the wallet. I would be checking to see if thats the correct amount, it seems a bit high.

    I think that gigirle is oversimplifying. This is a pretty good approach for red light tickets:
