Urgent question regarding red light camera
 

Hi guys. I hv a question. I recently purchased a Nissan 370z. Since it is so new, I haven't gotten my license plate yet. Now.... Today I accidentally made a right turn in red without stopping and the red light camera went off on me. Since I don't have a license plate, will I get a ticket? Thanks in advance

P.S. At the moment the only thing that's on the license plate area is the name of the dealership. It's like a piece of cardboard for them to advertise their place.

those things can zoom in like you wouldnt believe, even to the point where they could get the VIN off of your dash, I hope thats not the case though, that sucks!

I'd say you're free and clear on this one. Have you ever seen a picture you get from one of those cameras? I haven't seen one from CA but i have from NYC and while the resolution is good it is really designed to get your plate and nothing else. I'd say with 95% certainty, in my experience, unless you have some specific identifying information on your temp plate, that you are in the clear so no worries

Maybe some of our law enforcement members can chime in.

can they possibly call the Dealership and ask for information about who's bought a white 370z, since the name of the dealership was shown.
Thx people!

No telling which PW 370 it is that was sold from that dealership. I'd be seriously surprised to see them go that into it for a violation like that.

NO way...your good...when i first got my Z i would run them for fun at night...i would stop,turn vdc off, look around...rev up and burnout... a couple of times i even flipped off the camera

- that was for all the speeding tickets ....piggies ...

Your free and clear-called & asked my wife, she's a PD dispatcher.

Thanks for clearing that up. Dad :tup:

I beat one of those red light enforcement tickets back in 2001.

Unless they wanted to do the detective work to get your info from the dealer listed on the front plate you're not going to have a problem. I doubt they will go to that much trouble. Those photo enforcement systems are about making an easy buck for the city, not to actually track down every hard to find offender.

these systems are the only reason that California requires front license plates, and one of the main reasons I won't put mine on.

Your welcome.:tiphat:

That's why they installed cameras to photograph the rear plate! I think having to have a front plate is BS!

thx Dad =D
and thx everyone else

If your dealer gave your info to anyone who called them, you should sue them.

You're fine...no way they'll look any further into it.

Nope. Sleep easy.
