I received a notice in the mail for a "stopping violation". I was making a right turn and although it is legal to make a right on red if you stop, I was stopped over the line, which is a violation. I thought about fighting it, but ended up just paying it to make it go away. If you don't pay, or fight and loose, it gets sent to the DMV and will appear on your driving record. If you pay it, it doesn't get reported. Feels wrong, but sometimes it's just less hassle to eat it. Many areas are getting rid of the cameras that are operated by a contractor, since the contractor technically doesn't have the authority to enforce the law or impose fines.
