So yesterday morning, I went through an intersection while the light was still amber, but turned red as soon as I entered it. There's a red light camera on that intersection. I'm wondering whether I triggered it or not, since I had already crossed into the intersection during the amber and was in the middle of it when the light turned red.

No announcement yet.
Did I run the light?

I can't afford to dish out another 350 bucks. :bang:"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

It will depend on what the laws in your location are to get the answer.
Example
In Florida If your vehicle is more than half way into the intersection when the light turns Red then you are OK.
In North Carolina, Your vehicle must be completely through the intersection before the light turns red.

In Ontario, front plate is compulsory. Besides, there are usually two cameras. One captures the car from the front, one from behind.
We also have some red light cameras around here but they only shoot from the front. I once barely ran a red light, at 3 AM, heading up Pine St. crossing Arquello. This area of the Richmond District is devoid of cars or at least was back in 1993. Camera shot, flash went off, and that was it. At the time my car had a bra on front and the plate was covered by it.
