So if you STOP at the line, then proceed I doubt you will get flashed. Of course this will mess up your FE.
I wonder how many other times she "sailed right through", endangering people, in the 15 days before she actually got a ticket. If there had been a cop there, she would have been stopped right away, but instead, she probably endangered more people (and racked up even more fines.)

In San Bernardino, EVERYBODY turning right gets flashed. Then you get to spend 15 days wondering whether the guy reviewing the video can figure out a way to give you a ticket. And if he does, the local kangaroo court doesn't let you defend yourself, and you're $420 in the hole.
