Remember when I said I loved Miami? Remember?!?! I take it all back.
Look what I got in the mail today!
That, my friends, is a ticket. Or as they call it these days: "a violation." It didn't require a cop. No, sir, it did not. All it required was a camera installed on top of a light at an intersection. A light which they claim was red when I went through it. Like if red and yellow were all that different to each other on the color scale.
Seriously, Miami? Cameras at intersections? What's next? No texting and driving? The Interpol coming to America? Expecting me to stop at these?
Um. No. I'll be taking my sweet ass to court and I bet your camera isn't going to show up so there's always that to my advantage (pictures and videos be damned). Now... Who wants to buy drinks and cry a little with me?

That's orange!!
And holy hell that is a $$ ticket :(
Everyone I know that has fought a camera in court has won. They're unreliable and judges know that. Expect to have this dismissed faster than you can blink.
Oh, and your angry face looks a little racist. =P
I guess yellow means "go" too?!
Awww I'm sorry! Also, your angry face is adorable. That is all.
Those tickets are thrown out all the time in the Seattle area. And, we have cameras on almost every intersection.
yeah VA has camera's on our big intersections too. They put them up, and then deactivated them when to many people complained. and then recently they reactivated them. And they once passed a law that said if you went 20 over the speed limit they'd give you a $1000 ticket and it would be a felony charge. (my friend got one) and if you got a DUI you got jail time, record charge and you had to pay $3000+ dollars. It was insane. The law lasted about three months before they took it away due to to many angry people. Now, my state has moved on to putting laws on womens vagina's. It's awesome. and I need to move, ASAP.
Welcome to the age of surveillance. Where every little thing you do is surveilled. Even through that little camera lense in your phone you thought was for 'facetime'. "Hi Mom!"
We have one intersection in town that has a camera, but all the locals know it's there, so we never get busted.
They DO make a lot of money off the people that are pulling off the interstate.
i've heard if you go to court and say it's not you they can't deny it. so, you win!
good luck!
its god damn 1984! There are cameras everywhere!
Three tickets and counting. Bring them on, California.
*laughs* I am most amused!
So sorry sweet thang, and that amount is terrible. We had them in Rocky Mount, NC and they finally took them down. Hate those things. Good luck with getting it cancelled.
Hugs,
Odie
Yeah, Gorgeous, we got a couple of those infernal devices around here, too. I hate those damned things.
Pish Posh: Seriously a lot of money over something like that. The economy isn't all that great, if they haven't noticed.
Anon #1: Thank you for the reinforcement. I seriously thought it was going to be a waste of time.
Anon #2: Hahhahahha. I die. :) Hilarious
Rebekah: $1000?! Holy heck.
Los: That's why I don't do Facetime. Nor anything else of the sort. I'm sure I've been videotaped doing a lot more than I wish I had. It's a harsh reality.
Carey: Thank you. The worst part is... I was driving my mom's car :/
Paige: There are cameras everywhere... and It's scary as shit.
Nellie: Woah! You're a pro, honey. Work it ::snaps fingers::::
dont drive through yellow/red. life lesson learned. 150 is way to much for a ticket but i bet you wont be doing that again lol
Hope you don't get a dickhead Judge, just sayin.....
When I get super angry, my arms fall off too. lol.
1) That = some BULLshit.
2) Wait, if you were driving your mom's car how did they figure out it was you and not your mom? That's fucking creepy.
Pardon my language, but this shit can go fuck itself. The Wife followed me through an intersection, and the light changed yellow when she was in the middle of it and got one of these damn things. It's bull-fucking-shit. Cop didn't see it, I didn't do it, damn it.
Harsh penalty, but you know statistically speaking for every hundred times somebody runs a red light or stop sign a child is mowed down. And one out of 4 of those is fatal, SO
Just. Don't. Do it. And don't speed up on yellow trying to make it either. I'd bet cash that's the full story on this incident. I do enjoy your blog Annah but I don't have patience or pity for people who are careless with other's safety. Having a young child has really attuned me to that. Sorry to drop a lecture on you girl, but there it is.
Holy shit, tickets suck. My husband was on a business trip in Tx about a year ago (we live in NC) and he got a red light ticket. And this past Saturday he got a speeding tickets. It all just sucks ass.
because you're a whore
Ha ha ha ha ! Damn I didn't know you could get a traffic ticket simply by being a whore - Way to Go Annah ! And your an asshole Anonymous.
