What if you let your friend drive and he racks up a bunch of tickets?
Sounds like reasonable doubt to me...

A bird's eye view of the intersection showing your car right at the line, with the light red, and another showing your car in the intersection. *You* did NOT have this view of the intersection. If you did, it would have been easier to see the line. Go back and take pictures of the intersection with the view that you had. Note if the line is clearly pained or if it was nearly faded like mine was. Take a picture with other cars going through the intersection (obstructing your view of the line), etc.
Worked for me...

Note that the bird's eye view ticket camera angle is actually the *second light* in the other pictures. You can see how the view of the redlight camera is much clearer than what I could actually see.
Also, visit http://www.highwayrobbery.net - as the owner of that site has many cams listed and information that is useful. he will also review your case and offer advice if you follow the directions on the site.

I'm a distributor for this Spray... I sell them cheaper than they do on the website... $25 bucks a can includes shipping... I have it on my car as I've been caught 3x already. What this spray does is over expose the license plate so that you can't get the ticket in the mail.
Anyone interested let me know...

it works... it really really works
This pic may be photo shopped... however I do sell this product at my shop and have it on my car... I took a pic of it with a standard digital camera and it does work. It over exposed the pic. Plus it last wash after wash... not like wax. Trust me... it's worth the $25 bucks for preventative medicine.
This is the pic of my actual license plate photofended.

It's a scam, I used it on my Tahoe and got nailed on a red light camera. I ordered it out of the back of road and track. Luckily the ticket only cost me $75 and no points.
The principle is that it will reflect too much light when the flash goes off. Many of these cameras are not using a flash, especially the ones on red lights or during the day. With digital camera technology right now they don't need to use a flash.

Just what we need - a way to run red lights and not get caught, other than being t-boned by another car. For speed i could understand, and I floor it through yellows all the time, but only on roads I travel on regularly, as its a good way to hit someone who was waiting to turn left. I only do it if I know there is a separate left turn only arrrow light for the oncoming traffic.

I can "photoshop" any video to brighten a license plate in motion with not much effort. Just need some decent compositing software or worse case scenerio break the video out into deinterlaced frames, photoshop them, then reinterlace them back into a video.

Point is, you misjudge the length of the yellow. This could be because of exactly when it changed (and your speed and proximity to the light), and the length of the yellow (which is NOT standard, nor is there any law governing it). Put another way, if you put a red light cam on a 45 mph road and set the yellow to 3 seconds, that cam will pump out tickets all day long.
I don't condone running red lights, and I'm good about stopping at yellows, but from time to time, you will misjudge the length of the yellow by 0.30 of a second, and the result will be a $341 fine. Some cams don't even give you a grace period, or the grace period is less than 0.3 seconds. That's ridiculous IMHO, and there's only one reason for it, and it's not to save people from getting into accidents.
Imagine getting a $341 ticket for going 35.35 mph in a 35 mph zone. I don't condone speeding either, but there's a point where it's just ridiculous.

You have plenty of time. It's the second yellow they have the red-light camera on, and I'm willing to bet that if it was on the first one, there wouldn't be 1/50th the amount of tickets.

So far the best way I found for defeating those nasty photo machines is to use no plates at all. Just get one of the dealership advertisement plate with holders, and pretend its a new car.
I'm not sure if wearing a baseball cap helps shield the face though.
