Are there really hidden cameras on stop lights?



    




Vince M
They are not hidden. They are in plain sight, usually on the horizontal support, but some are mounted directly on the light fixture.

Not all signals have cameras, and not all cameras are on. The point is, if you are paying attention to your driving, you shouldn't notice them, or have to worry about them.

There is cameras on stop lights but they are not hidden. The city is required to have signs posted where ever there is a traffic violation camera, some cameras that are installed on top of lights are mistaken for traffic news cameras.

there are on some. if some one runs a stop light, you can see a little flash and that's the camera taking a pic of the person.

many cities have traffic cameras and not many are hid just looking up at lights you will see them

Yes, but they are not hidden. that would be entrapment and illegal. It has to be visible to the public.

I'll tell you this;

When one of my daughters was away at college, I got an "official looking letter" from the local Police Department.

Inside were four pictures showing her car running a red traffic light as well as a close-up of the license plate which was registered to me!

Along with the pictures was a nice little note saying you better pay up or we will come and throw your butt in jail (or something like that).

Yes, many traffic lights have camera enforcement. Be careful, Big Brother is watching!!!!!

There are not-hidden cameras on a lot of lights for when you run a light haha. I guess some people may not notice them, but most people know what they look like, I think.

NO, the cameras are not hidden. They are in a big white box on a pole at the corner of the intersection and there is a sign usually on the same pole that says" red light camera enforcement in place."

Some, not all. This is because ti would be too costly to have one in every single stop light, but some are. If you want to speed get a radar detector, it will beep when you are near a police officer, ambulance etc so you will know. Otherwise just play it safe and don't speed - too much.


Whatever

Yes-there are camera's every where 0-0

It depends on what state you live in, they are illegal in some states. But if you see a black box at a stoplight, make sure you stop because that's the camera ;)

There are cameras, but they are in plain sight atop the pole where the lights hang from.

Not on every stop light but some big intersections do. At night you can see the flash go off.
