You're gonna lose. There is no car behind you (at least not close). There is a car in front of you and you closed the distance on him.

It is an improperly delivered summons though so you might be able to just ignore it until they come get you. I doubt that they can legally deny you an appeal for failing to respond to something delivered by regular mail. Now if it was delivered registered mail, you should just pay it.

BTW, the photograph clearly show the car entering the intersection (busy , no less) with a car waiting on you in the left turn lane and now car behind you. I think you should just pay it.

Funny thing, after close analysis, I see a broken down Ford Explorer in the left turn lane and a bunch of cars stopping and going when the signal was malfunctioning and blinking red in all directions. No where does the pictures show him entering the intersection on a red. One shows him stopped behind the line, and the other shows him half way through the intersection when it was taken.

Looks to me like Darth needs to have some discovery from the city and company operating these (s)cams.
