Red light speeding cameras have been used in many states for several years now. The devices discourage drivers from speeding and running red lights and hopefully lessen the number of deaths caused by reckless and unsafe driving. Red light cameras are activated when a vehicle goes over a sensor in an intersection when the light is red. The device takes a photo of both the car’s license plate and the driver. A ticket is then mailed to the car’s registered owner, along with the photographic evidence, a copy of the citation, and the amount of fines to be paid.
