Our experience is that these tickets are given for variable late entry into the intersection on the yellow.  Variable lengths of yellow make time necessary to pass through the light somewhat difficult to judge.  My husband has received 2 of these tickets and claimed the light was clearly still yellow when he entered the intersection.  I was with him on one of those ocassions and he clearly entered while light was still yellow.  An internet search of newspaper articles reveals that there is wide controversey in many cities, with data that rear end collisions have increased and pictures triggered when people entered on yellow are common and a big money maker.

I'm opposed unless we're talking about people who truly enter when the light is red.  Mary PDX
