Try it and then you will know
No. You must enter the intersection AFTER the light turns red to trigger the camera.
if you have passed the line at yellow and it goes red its good ive seen pictures and its when the car gets over the whole line and it was red the whole time. But i live in Australia so if you live in USA or something i wouldnt know.
The red light cameras are not supposed to flash if the front of your car enters the intersection when the light is yellow. Where is the entry point of the intersection? It is supposed to be the stop line. However, a lot of municipalities move the red light camera sensor into the intersection--to the curb line of the cross street. The curb may be several feet beyond the stop line. Of course, this is illegal . . . but municipalities do it to make money. It is possible to cross over the stop line while the light is yellow, have the light turn red, and then you pass over the sensor and get the big flash.
