My Red Light Camera Violation

I got caught by the red light camera in Colonial Heights Kingsport TN. The ticket said it had been red for .87 seconds, and I was going 35MPH. And I got a 100 dollar fine!

I'm the blue car on the left. When driving it felt as though I was right next to the white truck and we rolled through together. But standing still and watching, it it doesn't look that way.

I was looking down to change the song on my iPOd and when I looked up it was yellow, and I underestimated how *long* it had been yellow. I didn't even brake, just rolled right through

Ironic, if I had been going 5 over, I probably would have made it.

You went straight through the red light. No excuse for this.

i mean, white truck did pass on yellow.. you failed going through. if you watch it frame by frame. you didn't make it on yellow. you obviously passed the line when it was red. so can't even win this argument and nothing to argue about.

@Secundinius He was too busy changing the song on his iPod to notice anything on the road.

You guys understand he's not arguing it right? He's just saying how easy it is to get distracted and not realize what's going on.

Dude you were at least 1.5 car lengths BEHIND the white line when it turned red. You had more then enough time to stop.

Officer: Please bend over.

Muzzle93: Yes officer, would you like me to grab my ankles?

Officer: Sure, and I'll need your lube.

Muzzle93: Okay but only if you promise to do this without butt punching me because I don't like police brutality.

[badmonk3829]

you can put stuff over your plate so that real cops can read it but pictures from cameras cant

@muzzle93 Do you buy the lube or does the government issue yours? Constitution , Privacy none of this matters. Hell why dont we just put cameras in our house..... its coming
