Default "Red Light Intersection Photo" BS

I was at a intersection in Waukegan. I had the green light and I wanted to make left turn. So I stop at this so called green light to yield on the on coming traffic. A van comes along, seems no one is behind them. So I hit the gas while noticing two small cars are driving behind AND see the green light turn yellow. So I slammed my brakes and stopped over the line. If this was WISCONSIN, I would be waiting patiently for the traffic while creeping and go on the red.

All of sudden I see two freakin' flashes behind me.


What are the odds...I'm the nailed one?


I've been very "jumpy" and extremely careful ever since my accident that happened about month ago. I don't trust NOBODY.

These so called "tickets" are $100 bucks Come on! Get a 10 over speeding ticket in Wisconsin then we'll talk. $180.00s; some could even go over $250.00s.

If you were in the intersection preparing to make a left, it should be fine. Those cameras flash whenever there's movement on a red light. As far as I know, they aren't automatic tickets, they are reviewed.

If you do get one, make sure you fight it.
