I got mailed a ticket for running a red light once, with proof from a red light camera. It clearly showed my car running a very red light, in a place I had definitely driven around that time on that day. I had absolutely no memory of doing so, but nothing looked forged or even mistaken, so I believe that it happened.

I can't imagine you running a red light. I would plead not guilty and go to traffic court. It might be a hefty fine AND points. I see your point about perception. You might be on to something there. I have noticed that people speed up when you are merging. Not just to cut you off but it seems like a reflexive action. It happens to me almost every time.

Did they tell you what the police officer's situation was? It would be interesting to know where they were, what they saw, what they were doing at the time... and as a concrete point, if they wrote any other red light tickets at that intersection that day ( ... )

Much of that I don't know, but he ticketed a car behind me as well. That answers whether they wrote any other red light tickets in a trivial way, but that's not quite what you really meant.

Behind you in that light cycle? That's interesting, implying that that driver *really* blew through the red. Or... something else.

It would be interesting to have the opportunity to compare notes with that driver.
