License plate lights blinding Red light Cameras?

[Brooklyn]

This is the second time this happened to me. I clearly ran a red light and saw the two flashes but no tickets ever came in, nothing online either. Could it be that the lights are so bright that the plate comes out white with the flash??


This is how it came out when I took it with my camera phone using a flash...

Maybe, maybe not. Call NYPD and demand the tickets though

I wouldn't count on it. Even if it flashes on you and takes a clear picture, it doesn't necessary mean you'll receive a ticket. It's especially hard to say since diferent agencies have different setups.

Here in NY they'll milk you for every little penny...

In Los Angeles, it turns out that paying those tickets almost was voluntary. The company that administered the ticketing could only demand payment but couldn't do anything to enforce the ticket.

These companies that operate the cameras like ATS and Redflex are starting to get desperate as more and more cities are dumping them due to lack of promised revenue and in fact in the case of the city of L.A. actually cost the city money to maintain. What a joke.

NYC has a bunch of real cameras and then a lot more decoys. They flash twice just like the real thing but no photo is actually taken. The city needs State approval to add more cameras so they just installed a bunch of fakes to get people to slow down.

If you find that you were caught by a fake one, don't count on it staying that way. The city routinely moves the cameras around so you never know if and when it is a real one or not.
