Has anyone fought a red light camera ticket in CA?

sandyeggo325i · 12-10-2009, 04:56 AM

...and won?

I got one in Poway (just outside of San Diego) and got the ticket today in the mail. If I go to traffic school it's $498

The thing that burns me the most is I DID stop...but past the limit line. Ahhh! Anyone have one of those "fight red light camera ticket" books?

If you stopped, then fight it. You get a picture in the mail, but the court has the video.. They will dismiss it off if they see that you stopped..

I was just a court fighting a intake and tint ticket. A couple people got off for this same reason..

Received one in Cuptertino when visiting grandparents about a year ago. Was driving at "normal speeds" camera went off. Tagged for a 42 in a 35. Fought it saying that there is a margin of 10% +- on the radar detector plus a 5-10% error in my speedometer. Easy as baking a cake with your momma.

So my ticket is due today, about to head out to the court to deal with it. I've been calling them all day and trying to find out if I can extend but from both online and on the phone; I can't find a record of the citation. The citation is made out to my company not to any specific person. Just hoping this is a scare ticket and not a real one.
