I miss the $10 on the spot fine.
I plan to retire to Thailand (Chiang Mai) within a couple of years. The corruption there is more out in the open, but you can at least pay $10.00 or $20.00 for a Red Light violation on the spot in most cases.
I believe Red Light violations in California are posted as being a $490.00 fine, not to mention your insurance getting jacked up as well.
Or maybe that's the fine for carpool violations, another scam. Nobody uses those lanes and they create more traffic by trying to force people to rideshare.
Social engineering failure.
