Default Uh Ohhhh....!! Help!!

Okay just tonight i was driving down Granville, going down to kits for a party. Anyways, at the Granville and W.16th intersection i turned left. However, there was another car in front of me turning left as well. The car in front of me did not turn until the light was yellow(about to turn red). So me being in a hurry and just past the cross walk lines did not want to wait, and sorta ran the red. Then the cameras took a picture of my car. What do you think will happen? Will they send me a fine? And if they do should i dispute it?

Thanks

There is a good chance that there was no camera unit installed. They have started to set the photo units to flash even when there is no camera because it acts as a deterent.

The cameras are quite expensive, so they rotate them from intersection to intersection. At one time they only had six cameras that moved all over the lowermainland. If you get the ticket, it is pretty hard to fight the photographic evidence.

Well the thing is, what if the photo actually sees me turning, then that would justify me being in the intersection while the light turned red doesnt it? I just didnt want to be blocking traffic. that's understandable right?
