Remember,
If you just obey they law you won't get a ticket. And every ticket gets reviewed by the camera company and is signed off by a police officer only after careful review to ensure a violation has actually occured.

Texas: Red Light Camera Tickets a Man Running a Green Light

On September 6 at 12:04pm, Price drove his grey 2009 GMC pickup through the intersection of US 35 and Travis Street. He was making a left-hand turn, with turn signal active, at 17 MPH. According to the red light camera, the light had been red for more than a minute. According to the photographs (view first photo, view second photo), and the video evidence, the light remained green throughout his turn. After being notified of the citation, local officials scrambled to order Redflex Traffic Systems, the Australian company in charge of the program, to cancel the ticket (view ticket). That is not good enough for Port Lavaca Citizens Against Red Light Cameras, a group working on a petition that would allow voters to decide the camera program's future.

"This is one of the reasons that we'd want to shut down the program," group co-founder Dwayne Buehring told The Newspaper. "We don't know how many people have paid tickets without looking at the video. Because of the scare tactics they use, some people are just going to pay.

Yep, great news there too. When Houston illegally turned the cameras back on over the vote anyone who was erroneously given a ticket can be part of the class action, but you may not be eligible if you pay the ticket.
