So about a week ago Brenda received a ticket in the mail. The notice said that she was caught rolling through a red light while making a right turn. She was caught by a camera ticketing system in the intersection. Included in the notice was a photo of her car in the intersection, and a very nice shot of her license plate. <\/p>\n
She was kind of upset about it since it is an automatic $100 ticket and argued that we should contest the ticket and see if they would let her off on account of her good driving record. <\/p>\n
I started thinking and remembered that most of the time now, you can actually go on-line and see a small movie of what happened.<\/p>\n
So I said “You know what, you’re right. Let’s go on-line and watch the video of what happened and then we’ll have what we need to fight it”. She turned around and said “What video?”. I explained, and slowly a sly smile appeared on her face. <\/p>\n
So we both went over to the computer and I typed in the website listed on the notice and entered her license plate and violation number. Up came the following video. Her car is the black one all the way on the right. <\/p>\n
You make the call. Did she make a proper and complete stop?<\/p>\n

Needless to say, we paid the ticket. <\/p>\n
