I got one . I was making a right turn on red which I am pretty sure was legal at the intersection. Any recourse other than a road trip to Long Island ? seems to be a money maker for you guys.

I don't live on the island, but I got one last year when I was visiting, I made a right on a light that turned red mid-turn.
I just paid the thing online, and got it over with. |

I live in this aforementioned commie county. Not only will you end up paying the fine, but you can add exorbitant bridge tolls to it as well. Did you Google Earth the intersection to see if there is a "No Right on Red sign"? Also, there is a bunch of BS about how long you were actually completely stopped before turning.

Right on red with a traffic camera you have to stop and wait. And wait. Maybe wait again. Then go.

I was wondering if it was worth taking a shot with a lawyer, I would rather give a lawyer the money than the state . It is now $150 . I will verify there was no sign on google earth .

Sometimes the sign hangs by the light so check there as well. In the video did you actually come to a stop? If you don't come to a complete stop it's not worth even thinking about fighting it.
Btw is it really that much now? I thought it used to be like 50 or 80 for a first offense. |

Nassau County red-lights are $150.00.
Suffolk is contemplating doing the same thing

Suffolk is contemplating doing the same thing Now in Nassau the new fee went into affect January 2, 2017. A ticket was $50 plus a $45 administrative charge. They originally planned to add a $105 surcharge to those charges bringing the cost to $200. There was a public outcry so they "moderated" their position and reduced the surcharge to $55 bringing to total to $150. Mind you they still have their eye on that $105 so it isn't a matter of if but when it is raised. Of course the County could go like New York City and simply outlaw right-on-red but they would never do that because it would cause a drop in revenue. So I just implement a personal ban where cameras are located. |

The 55.00 fee is the Nassau County driver responsibility fee while the 45.00 is the surcharge. Or the other way. What's ridiculous is that the state assesses a 300.00 driver responsibility assessment for anyone going over a certain amount of points in a short time. So Nassau took that idea and applied it to a no point violation just to pocket the money.

Consider the extra 150 as a self-incurred lawyer fee since this tix if paid gives no points or reports to your home state. Didn't you get a speeding tix in FL recently?

I have to make rights on red multiple times a day, everday, with the cameras in place. I come to a complete stop behind the line, look both ways, and go. I've had the cameras flash on me but never got a ticket, out of hundreds of potential right turns on red. The law says a complete stop, meaning you feel the weight of the car fall backwards. Anyone saying an amount of time you have to wait is just making it up. They have full video of every ticket they issue saved in their system. Did they send you a link to the video? If you did indeed come to a full stop, you should be able to FOIA the video (if they didn't provide it) and fight it easily.

I stop, wait 5 seconds & turn, I've been ok so far!
I see people roll through them & get flashed by the camera many many times a day, amazing. |

I avoid making the turn if possible, but people get really really angry. I've seen people jump the line and go around people who won't turn, people lay on their horn for the entire duration of the light, fight scream curse, flip off, you name it. |

I just do not trust the system. They absolutely refuse to commit to a hard wait time value leaving a variable you can drive a truck through. I am more than happy to give up a minute of time to save myself $150. Everything I can do to legally starve the County I do. |

If you want to run the red, come to Rochester. They scrapped the cameras because "too many poor people were getting tickets and couldn't pay the fine". I'm not even kidding, that was the reasoning.

Once, back in the early 80's, I saw a traffic light that appeared to be stuck. It wasn't one of the motion/weight activated lights either. For several minutes the light was steady red for cars wanting to make a Left turn. Very close by was a Nassau County police car waiting for somebody to take the bait and make the turn. |

I got one doing the same thing but I didn't make a complete stop. With mine you can go and watch the video -- if yours show a complete stop such that the car is not moving, I would fight it. Unless there is some rule that says you need to stop for some number of seconds, which sounds wrong to me. I think you need to make a full stop and then you can go whenever it is safe.

For my ticket, I did not make complete stop so it was moot. |
