NY Red

Red Light Cameras.

They got me in NYC. However, the sun was in my eyes. I have proof... The same pictures as what they sent me.

How would the ALJ respond?

The sun being in your eyes is not an excuse. Get sunglasses, lower the visor. Perhaps a kind hearted judge will let you off, but I wouldn't count on it. It doesn't work for Gary Sheffield, it probably won't work for you.

I didn't say it was an excuse, but that's what happened. I usually dispute parking violations for the company I work for. This is greek to me.

what if you had caused a serious accident while the sun was in your eyes? what would you expect to happen then?

In most states if the nose of the car is in the intersection when the light is still yellow, the driver hasn't run a red light.
It may depend on the quality of the picture with the sun in your eyes
whether or not you think this ticket should be fought.

So only because I have a hard time understanding the actual wording of the laws, is FL one of the nose-in-intersection-is-not-running-red-light states?

This thread is dealing with NY law. If you have a question about FL law, please start your own thread with your own question.

Hey There -

OP hasn't disputed that he ran the red. Rather, he claims that, because he couldn't SEE the red light (due to the sun in his eyes), he shouldn't be penalized for running it.

Of course, our OP should have taken steps to alleviate the problem BEFORE he ran the light...
