This isn't CSI, you can't take a low-res image and "enhance" it to all of a sudden be able to see what color the driver's eyes are in their rear view mirror. Most of the videos that I've seen of friends running red lights (I have yet to eff that one up) have been roughly D1 resolution (~720x480). There are times where these video cameras are coupled with a license plate camera like the ones found at toll exchanges, but even then they are just set up to grab your plate, nothing else.

Side note: Don't ever think that switching lanes or going extra fast will make the LP cameras not get your plate. I've been selling those things for a few years now and they're good to well over 120MPH and use technology that basically blacks out everything except the plate.
