    Default Red Light Camera Ticket - Contest or Not

    This is regarding Washington State Red light camera.

    I turned right on a red camera without first stopping and I was wondering if i should fight it. There is a video clip and pictures showing that i didnt stop. what do you guys think?

    Also this camera was located on Bel-red rd and 148th in Bellevue. The cameras are pretty new to the city of Bellevue.

    Sounds like you have no defense. Unless the news reports I found about these cameras are wrong, in Bellvue the ticket is like a parking ticket, the car owner's responsibility and not the driver's. So, they don't have to identify you, making their job easier, on the other hand you don't have to worry about points on your license, making it simpler to just pay the $124 fine and move on. Please check this, though - I could be wrong about it not costing you points. Does the evidence they present include a driver photo? If there were no license points at stake, and it were me, I'd pay it.

    Update:

    Same thing just happened to me. I went ahead and paid it. It was not worth the time and trouble to take off from work to fight it.

    You recently got a speeding ticket and now you got another ticket for not stopping at a red light? Pay the tickets and start being a more careful driver.

    yeah I dont know whats up with that. I got the red light one 3 weeks prior then i got pulled over going home from school. Kind of unfair though because I was following traffic but well see what happens. Thank you all for your interest.
