To catch people beating the red lights at traffic junction, the police have installed cameras that take photos of offenders. I am sure you have seen them around. I have sometimes noticed the flash of these cameras just before they take the photo of the offenders -- but not always.

So, my questions are

1. do these cameras *always* flash their lights before taking a photo, or only flash when the ambient light is poor (just like auto cameras)?

2. I noticed that some cameras at the traffic lights *never* flash, so I am wondering if they are decoys -- just empty boxes?

Camera might depends on light condition as well. If bright sunlight still flash might cause the number plate has distortion. maybe flashes only activate when too dark?

Most redlight cameras still using film base. Never link to traffic police HQ. If digital then might be able to directly send image to all related departments, like singaland do.

There was once an issue on digital base as can easily be photo-shopped.......

Not only don't run red lights, be careful running green lights too, because of the other party running red lights.....
