A few answers on photo red

Photo by Heather L. Smith

AURORA | After our photo red light story ran last week, I got a call from a reader wondering whether the machines worked on cars without a front license plate or with a temporary tag. 

I checked the APD web site and it sounds like the machines photograph the rear plate, so a missing front plate wouldn’t matter. 

As for the temporary tags, police emailed this morning and said even with a temporary plate, police are able to track it to the owner. It sounds like it just takes a bit more time for police to track down those owners than it does with a standard plate. 

Anyway, if you haven’t seen the story from last week, or the video by Heather L. Smith that we posted with it Friday afternoon, click this link to see it.
