Also, as I said the light was green when I started...yes I could have possibly slammed on the brakes and stopped when the view of the light was obstructed but I would have been in the intersection...a split second decision had to be made.
Just posted this as more of a warning to those travelling the roads. I feel my decision was the safest at the time and still do.
The evidence just doesn't support that. Red light cameras are designed with a sensor at the start of the intersection and it's only enabled when the light is red. If you enter the intersection while it's still green, you do not get a ticket - the system will only get triggered if you pass the sensor after the light has already turned red.
