I was driving and a police pulled me over using laser detection
The traffic cam system is usually used with two cameras on each situation. The northbound traffic will have a main camera showing a car from the rear, showing the license plate. There is usually another camera showing the same situation from the opposite angle, confirming the situation, traffic light color and all. When they gotcha, they make sure they gotcha, so pay up! You can ask to see the footage, which is kept as evidence.
