If it was criminal, they would have to verify who was driving. Instead, they can just mail the owner the fine.

The resisters around here have a plan - ignore the "administrative fine" long enough, and it turns criminal.

Then you get your day in court, the courts are overwhelmed, and they decide to knock it off.

Absent that method, they're hanging gasoline-filled tires on the cameras and lighting them in the U.K. and Australia.

They might start doing that here - people in other cities in Texas are used to the redlight cameras, but people in Austin are pissed.

The city could add an extra second or two, to the lights, and try it out. They have cameras covering the major roads, and I've been in their traffic control center - they have the ability to adjust the signals depending on traffic flow, they can see problems that crop up and get the proper people dispatched (whether it's police or fire/EMS) faster than calls to 9/11, they are working on having large signs that can tell you travel times between various points (San Antonio has had it for a while, and it can be very useful), as well as can tell you detours if there are wrecks, or whatever, in real-time.

They could put the delay in and try it out, but I've been hearing them push the red light camera project for a while, and the liberals see the bucks being raked iin by other Texas cities. It's not something that would require them to go out to the signals, they control most of them from that center.
