for those who live in california. grrrrr, I knew something seemed a bit weird when I saw these bright lights shining as I zipped through the intersection when it was yellow but turned red midway. it was a wide intersection. there was a car beside me, so maybe it triggered it. my questions are as follows:

1. is the front of the car snapped, back, or both?

2. how high is the resolution of these cameras? say yer front license plate is very faded or you don't even have one, can they zoom in on the vin or on a parking permit you have hanging in the rearview mirror, which might identify yer place of work or school?

3. I believe--in fact, I know--I entered the intersection when it was yellow, and it changed so quickly to red, and next thing I know, FLASH!

I am a very cautious driver and rarely try to beat yellow lights, and never run red lights intentionally. this happened at night, btw. how much is a redlight ticket? thanks.
