Send your ticket first. Save any other information you already have for the follow-up call.

  1. 1Save every page of the citation and any mailed notice.
  2. 2Preserve camera images, video links, and access codes.
  3. 3Photograph the intersection only from a safe, lawful location if conditions are important.
  4. 4Note whether the citation was handed to you or mailed.

What matters in your case

Identity and notice

Camera matters can raise questions about the driver, mailed materials, and what evidence the prosecution will offer.

The light and your vehicle’s position

We check where your vehicle was when the light changed, whether you stopped before a turn, and what the photos or video show.

Officer observations

For an officer-issued ticket, position, visibility, traffic, and the stated basis for the stop are part of the review.

Common questions

Is a rolling right turn treated as a red-light violation?

A driver facing a steady red signal generally must make the required stop before turning when the turn is otherwise permitted. The alleged movement and evidence matter.

What if the photo is not clear?

Send the ticket first and save every available image or video. We can check whether the driver and the alleged violation can be identified. A blurry photo alone does not guarantee dismissal; other evidence may matter.

Can I ignore a mailed camera notice?

Do not assume a notice can be ignored. Verify the court and deadline using the citation and official court channels, then get advice about your specific situation.
