[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids lose their license for the number of days equal to the cost of the tickets. So here, she’d lose her license 50 days and pay the fine. So far each of my kids have gotten either 1 or no tickets. Seems to work. [/quote]

This seems overly harsh.  After I read your first sentence I was thinking a punishment of 5 days, which I felt was reasonable.  50 days seems over the top. [/quote]
Less than 2 months punishment for running a red light is too harsh to you? Driving is a privilege, not a right, and breaking the law and earning a ticket absolutely means losing that privilege. 5 days is nothing. Clearly pps kids actually learn from this, unlike the kids/teens that are continually getting tickets/accidents and risking other peoples lives on the road. [/quote]
Ummm slowly rolling right on a red is not “ running a red light” . Good grief calm down. Running a red light would be blowing thru at a high rate of speed. Hence the word running. [/quote]

When I was teaching my kids to drive and gave the full 3 second stop at stops signs...I was often honked at![/quote]

Yes, but the police don't care. You have to choose who to listen to.

The police?  Are pulling someone over and giving them a ticket because they think you didn't stop long enough on a legal right turn on red?

There is a reason it is a red light camera ticket.[/quote]

If they are there to see you, yes they'll pull you over. Why wouldn't they? It's easy money. You won't win if you try to fight it.

I seriously doubt it.  You are now accusing the police of being abusive of power, which 99.9% are not.  Sure, if you have CA license plates and you do this driving in TX...I see that kind of nonsense.

Again, you didn't drive through a stop sign or run a red light or speed...or do anything for which a cop will pull you over.  On your basis, the cops will just pull you over because they feel like it and will give you tickets.[/quote]

A rolling stop is not stopping at the light. 
It's not an abuse of power to stop someone for that, especially if they are over the cross walk white line. That would be not prioritizing the pedestrian traffic and most police will try to do that.

Police write tickets to get statistics to keep their boss off their back and their paycheck coming. “Prioritizing the pedestrian traffic.”  Are you kidding?

And the thread isn’t about police tickets. It’s about camera tickets. [/quote]
