Are you sure there was a camera? LEDs can be perceived to flash as they come on. A lot of people thought camera flashes were going off when stop lights were changed to LEDs in Santa Clara county.

From what I've read of red light tickets (meaning no scientifc basis), there's a reasonable delay in the camera mechanism. If the camera catches you, you entered the intersection well into the red.

The images can't be enlarged to read anything more than a license plate but they can use the make and model to 'clarify' a blurry plate image.

Fines are posted at most intersections with cameras. I've seen them as high as $272. I don't know if that's before or after gratuitous fees and assessments.
