You guys get points in CA? That stinks.

Here, since there's not an officer witnessing it, they can't even count it as a moving violation. It's considered a civil offense here.

Of course, they're ticketing people illegally, but the know it and continue to regardless:

Texas Red Light Camera Offenses Require Imagination

It's $75 in Dallas, and that's about the minimum an attorney will charge for traffic, so most won't even touch a camera citation. They just advise to pay it (since it's not a moving violation) or pro se it.
