NYC Red Light Camera ticket - want to fight it.

New York State - I just received a ticket in the mail for running a red light from one of those automated cameras set up at an intersection. In the pictures documenting that my auto passed the red light by .43 seconds is also a picture of a NY city bus also passing the light late.

The traffic laws should be enforced equally. Thus if the city bus does not have to pay the $50 fine, should I have to pay? I want to challenge paying this ticket because the evidence NYC provided that my auto passed the light late also proves that a city bus also did. I don't think the city of New York will enforce the law equally in this case.

How much money are you willing to spend to see if the city paid the $50 for the bus. Unless you got connections with someone in the city transit office that can tell you that. Ask yourself this question what if someone else was driving your car and they did what you did and the ticket came to your house and they told you the same bus story. You would probably say I don't care about the bus you need to pay this $50. 2 wrongs don't make a right. But by all means if you have the time and money then fight it.

Wrong
