Does anyone know how red light cameras at intersections work?

But how do the cameras work? Do they only take pictures if you cross while it's red? That's probably not the case, but oh well

they're actually video camera's taking a series of frames. you should have seen a flash if it was triggered. if you didn't, stop worrying.

but honestly, you should have gotten a ticket for impeding traffic. i hate people that block intersections. nothing personal but pay attention to what's going on in front of you.
