I've always heard that you must have passed/crossed the threshold at the time the light turns red.

But I also am very worried about potential abuses that can result from traffic stops. Civil asset forfeiture being a prime example. On the flip side of that, I also have officer safety concerns, not only from chance encounters with violent criminals, but also from accidents while they are standing next to a vehicle on the side of a highway.

If we had a similar automated system for speed enforcement, and other things, then I could see the benefits outweighing the negatives....
Luckily the legislature has already made automated speed cameras illegal in Texas. :thumbs2:
