Absolutely correct  If you want to make the intersection safer, extend the yellow light.

Last year I called the National Highway Administration, found out that many municipalities have their own traffic engineering equations, and not following the recommended  speed /stopping distance formulas

These municipalities were using the less safe method.....  Hmm wonder why?  Could it be revenue was more important than safety?

I also discovered that on your initial arraignment, ask for a copy of the incident.

You have a right to examine all evidence and you'll soon learn the evidence Redflex provided is in a format that is spoliated;  it can not be used if you vigoously raise objections/

Film runs at so many feet per second/ so many frames in a three second yellow light, it's interesting when you discover the light was too short, in violation of State law   .

Defendants and the courts do no have to rely solely on the States evidence.

You and your legal counsel are entitled to the evidence to be presented, and to be allowed an independent evaluation.

I was able to prove with Redflex' own camera, the yellow light was not the minimum 3 seconds. 

It seems Redflex doesn't like it, when their own equipment indicts them.  That goes to credibility of the witness and your right to ascertain bias  

Bottom line if you don't raise constitutional issues at the time of the trial, you are precluded from raising them on appeal.

If you don't raise constitutional issues, YOU will be found guilty. Unless you want to waste your time pleading to a judge to show mercy. A judge whose job depends on revenue from red light cameras.

No sweat off of them, after the first trial they'll probably let you pay the filing fees to appeal (more revenue)  and at the last minute you'll find the Municipality is no longer interested in pursuing justice   

The municipalities DONT want appellate review; without a higher court interceding, they can abuse their authority.

There are two major laws regarding electronic recording devices.  

.... you have to know your rights, they don't have to tell you.

BAN THE CAMERAS, it's not really about safety it's about fleecing he unsuspecting motorists.

If safety was the main concern the yellow lights would be longer. The longer the light the less revenue.

The National suggested allowing the cameras, but only allow ticketing to occur .30 seconds after the 3 second marker. Better yet, because of perception/reaction time in elderly drivers  they  recommended a 1 minute  all red intersection.

All sides see a gated red, allowing the intersection to clear safely.
