"Request your court date and have them prove it was you." Uh no, that would be an incorrect assumption. No sir, with RLC's, there is an assumption of guilt, not innocence. Worse, proving innocence can often be a pretty difficult thing to do.

Let it go, people. The cameras are gone and it will cost more in money and time than it's worth. The courts are already backlogged with more serious cases.

Red light tickets are the easiest to beat. Think about it. It's just the car & license plate, it can't see who is driving. Request your court date and have them prove it was you. The 9,500 who payed should get nothing for being stupid.

SO what is the DOT standard and does it change based on the speed limit? My daughter got one in downtown Raleigh and the form stated the yellow light was 4 seconds.

Aaaaaand all the fees and costs involved with this idiotic lawsuit are WAAAAAAY more than if these people would have just paid their $50 fine and been done with it, with nothing on their driving records.

So convenience should be more important than due process? I think not. When I can have my lawyer question the "red light camera" in court. I'll agree. Constitutional rights are more important than convenience and a revenue source for Cary.

Stupid law suit. Ceccarelli won, Cary removed the cameras, I guess he's someone who can't let it go. If he wins and receives money from the town of Cary, the tax payers will have to pay. As a Cary Tax Payer, and someone who has had to pay the $50 fine (for my son and husband) I don't want my tax money going to pay for this case.

Yet another waste of Judicial time and resources in this country that could be spent on more important cases.
