@catsalad way to stick it to the man!
@catsalad I swear that looks like the scene in back to the future when they hit 88 miles an hour and the flashes kick in. 👍
@catsalad what red light camera they just edited the video making it bright
@lamp2 Well, so much for the suspension of disbelief...

@Sinistar7510 @lamp2 it's clearly visible in the video. It's the short "light" that looks like it's glowing blue. Likely because it includes infrared & the CCD of the camera filming is picking that up. You can see the orthogonal green light up high as it pans to our protagonist.

Maybe it's made up, guess there will just have to be some science done. But this particular question is easily observed and answered.

@catsalad I wonder how many photos a red light camera can take before it can't any longer? How many times would I need to push a trolley through an intersection to disable the camera?

@bananamangodog @catsalad

Assume the camera has a 32gb sd card: 1 million.

@Life_is @catsalad What resolution do they shoot at?

My thinking was the photos would be in some kind of RAW format at around 8 Megapixels so file size would be perhaps 10Mb. Then red light cameras take 2 photos of the vehicle. So 32GB card would hold only 200 events.

But surely they'd store more otherwise they'd have to be servicing them too often.

@bananamangodog @catsalad

At least in Germany it is a black and white image and probably actually infra red.

Very likely you can find the actual data sheets of these cameras at the websites of the vendors.

@bananamangodog @catsalad In the old, analogue days they used film that had enough footage for hundreds of photos. I think the new ones all transmit their data over the network. Maybe there are still a few funny in-betweens that use Iomega Zip and can only store 99 photos or something …
@catsalad Oh shit I'm definitely going to do this someday 😂
@catsalad The best thing I’ve seen all day! 😂
@catsalad @briankrebs I hope they got his license plate

@mwyman this was my thought too! It's likely fully automated, so if one added a fake number plate with a valid number, that person could possibly get a ticket in the mail with a picture of shopping-cart-guy as proof.

Would be fun to fight that in court: "Um this isn't me, and is not even a car?" @catsalad

@catsalad no lights here. I'll have to run closer to a speed camera.
@catsalad 45° angle or arc to throw the radar?
@catsalad
Don't know if that counts as rage, but it should at least give some cop a chuckle.

@catsalad I guess the trolley might be needed to trigger (radar or induction loop). Although some sites say vis light flashes are less common.
