A new state law means you could get a ticket for running a red light–even if there are no cops around to see it. The law says cities and counties are now allowed to use stoplight cameras at intersections and other places where you’re supposed to stop. The law sets a first-time fine of $100, and the tickets will actually be issued to the vehicle, with penalties escalating for repeat violations. Some communities say the cost of collecting the fines isn’t worth the expense of the cameras, so they’re taking a pass. Participating cities or counties must adopt and make public a speed safety system impact report before implementing the program. It also requires the participating area to engage in a public information campaign for at least 30 days
