A couple years ago I had my picture taken while driving my wife's car 5 mph over the speed limit on Yosemite, just North of 225. There was an unmarked, black Scion with a cone behind it, parked on the side of the road in the bus lane, and it snapped my picture as I passed. My wife got the ticket with my picture in the mail. She signed the paper saying it was not her and sent it back in. I got the ticket with my name on it about 4 months later. It was about $40, and since I actually was guilty, I paid it and went on with my life.

A thread gets posted here every couple months where people are complaining about red light cameras and discussing ways of not paying the fine for getting caught running a red light. Colorado is the only place I've ever lived where you can bet money that at least one car will run the red at every intersection, in every direction, at every iteration of the light. You aren't special; wait your turn.

Newracer is correct; if the road conditions are poor, you're supposed to slow down appropriately. If the light has been green for a while (a stale green), you're supposed to take your foot off the gas and anticipate the light change. They teach all of this in driver's ed. There's no excuse for running red lights IMO.
