on friday night i was on my way to the edwards cinemas in mira mesa. i was coming from black mountain and was going to make a left on to mira mesa blvd. well the light turned yellow as i was approaching, and i figured i'd have enough time to make it through the intersection. the next thing i remember was looking up, and seeing that the traffic signal was red. bad news is that that intersection is one of the few that have had the red light cameras reactivated. i figured i was already half way through the turn so i was safe from being photographed. but when i asked my friend (who was in the car with me) what he thought happened, he said i was only half way in the intersection.

i have been searching for info on red light cameras and haven't been able to find much information on what categorizes a red light runner. what i want to ask you guys is do you think i'll still get the ticket even though my car was only half way in the intersection when the light turned red? or am i safe because i was either way i was still in the intersection while it turned red?

btw, i looked around to observe any flashes but i semi-sure that i did not see any. i also believe the camera was not at an angle that could have photographed my face. would that save me from having to pay the ticket if it comes?

thanks in advance
