So on Friday I got my picture taken by a camera on the stop light the road was to slippery to brake and the light tured red extremely fast. If I have a clean record or if I am a full time student would the judge let me off with a warning by any chance or even community service. Any advice

Don't think so bro I'm pretty sure red light tickets have a mandatory minimum fine judges can't really budge when its a set fine amount

Nope, not anymore, you officially have a red light ticket, get ready to pay $350-400 and ask for traffic school!
Don't trip, happens to all of us!
Or you can try to fight it, which you have the possibility of winning!

If it doesnt have a court date and citation number when it comes in the mail, its not actually a ticket. They come from a third party private company to you. When you sign it and send it in to the courthouse, you're basically ratting yourself out. I'm a tech at a dealership and we have a camera light down the street, quite a few of us have gotten these and just tossed them with no consequences. The original source of my info was a lawyer that specializes in traffic laws by the way.

This. KTVU or some news station had a segment on these red light cameras. The company is based out of AZ i believe. They make the cameras and the money is split between the company and the city that the camera is in.
Is the camera that got you on A st off the 880 south exit?

The company is Redflex Traffic Systemz, in Phoenix Arizona. Ive gotten two and chucked them out. Its been over four years.
Under california penal code, a midemeanor or infraction must be performed under an offices presence. They have been sued countless times by people, cities and even LEOS
