Before I even say anything if you want to say anything stupid then just don't post.

I made a left turn on red arrow were there are photo cameras. Do you think I will get a ticket? Or is it because it a left turn the angle is not right for the camera to take a picture of my license plate? For those that are from Los Angeles. I made a left turn on Wilshire blvd from Sepulveda blvd

think about what you just said. if you got a ticket, would it be the camera's fault?

i didn't ask if it would be camera fault. I asked if the camera was able to take the picture of my plate because i was turning, which makes my licences plate at angle

A left onto a one-way street on a red light should be legal. I believe it's illegal if it's a two-way street.

i was behind pack of cars that were all making a turn on left on green arrow. When i got the intersection the light turned to yellow but i had a big truck behind me and i was not sure if he would stop or go so i decided not to take a chances of getting hit and made a turn and hen i realized that there were cameras at the intersection

yes, it's readable and they can enhence the image. i've been busted once for running a red in nyc, got the ticket via mail showing my plate #. you will pay a fine (no points - in nyc) since car is registered to your name - since they can't determine the driver.

I don't think that you will get points when the camera takes the picture. You'll get a bill sent though.

When they send you the ticket they will send a copy of the photo.

Send a photo of the money to pay the ticket.:D

real answer: if it was night and you didn't see a flash, you didn't get busted. if there was a flash, you're busted. if it was daytime, you were busted if they have a camara pointing in your direction. the intersections i've seen have mulitple camaras in different locations to catch people going all directions. but maybe you got lucky.

I can give you a little bonus here, maybe.

Do you have a front license plate?

If the answer is no then you'll receive no ticket. :)

If the camera is there to catch people doing exactly what you did, then yes.. you will get a ticket.

If it wasn't and your plate isn't visable, maybe you got lucky.

i been leaving here 12 years and driving 5 of them. Usually i woudn't ask the question but this was an arrow light intersection so i wasn't sure

as for if it was day or night time. It was day time. Otherwise if it was night i could tell if it flash. The only thing could be in my favor is it was really sunny and hopefully sun got in to the picture and blindind the camera

California has reather complicated rules with regard to automated traffic cameras. You're oversimplifying things.
