Default Redlight camera!

I know that they take photo of driver and number plate but is a front number plate or a rear number plate? Or is it both?

So, if you run through red light but if you don't have front number plate there is siginificantly less chance of driver being caught?

look at where it's aimed at....

most of them flash too. at an area where they have it installed, you should be able to stand on at that corner and see it go off within minutes

Approximately when will the ticket come from the time of violation? I really don't know if I did went through the red light because I did not see one! But while I was going through the intersection there was traffic signal at very right hand side. Very hard to see... It was green but might have changed while I was going through the intersection. Hope I did not go through the red light...

I think the ones in LA used to take pictures of the front plate only. But that was years ago. I'm not sure if that's changed since.

The cameras up here in places like Fremont take pictures of both the front and back plates. The citation (but not the actual fine) arrives pretty quickly, normally a week or less after the violation.
