Emergency vehicles and stop lights that take pictures to give you a ticket: What about this situation?

Asked by mrentropy (17213points) May 21st, 2010

Yesterday on my way to work I saw this happen at an intersection:
My way, North-South, had a green light, but traffic was stopped because an ambulance was coming.

Due to the way the road is set up, the people going East-West (with the red light) had nowhere to go to make room for the ambulance so they had to go through the red light and move over.

If this intersection had those cameras that take pictures of cars running red lights, would those people now expect to get tickets in the mail for running red lights or is there some kind of human intervention that checks them for instances like these?
