Last Saturday I was out driving with my friend around 9pm and we were coming down Southlake Blvd after just passing the intersection at Davis Blvd. No speeding was involved and as I came up to the RED light at Pearson Ln and a truck swerved into my lane last second causing me to choose to either hit the back of him or make a split second decision to move into the right lane next to me. No other cars were around us and once we both stopped at the RED light the red light cameras flashed twice. I don't know if it was because something malfunctioned or what because as far as I have been taught, I dont think I did anything wrong. Any opinions on if I will get a ticket in the mail?

I don't know about where you're at, but here in VA, a live police officer must review each red light camera photo before a ticket is mailed.

A couple years ago, I got called into the office and was told that I was caught on a red light camera in a company vehicle running a light, which was total nonsense. As I geared up for a court battle, a few days later I got called into the office again and was shown a letter from the police saying that the ticket was mistakenly sent before the photos were reviewed. They apologized, and I was told to disregard the ticket.

Also, the red light cameras here are triggered when the light turns red AND THEN a vehicle crosses the white stop line. If any part of the vehicle is over the stop line BEFORE the light turns red...no ticket. So if the light was already red before you got to the stop line and you stopped behind the line...you should be good.
