Are red light cameras legal?

I was sent a ticket for a vehicle by a red light camera that I was not driving. The vehicle is registered to me. I contested the ticket by mail stating that there were brake lights applied and that it was also a protected left hand turn. The hearing officer, (not judge) that works for the city found me still liable and to pay the ticket. This is an employee of the city. How can a city hire out an otuside company to run a red light camera and have an employee of that city decide if you are liable?

If you think you are in the right take it to court and let the judge decide

Problem I have is this plate is registered to me and my licenses could be in jeporady. But is a municipal, government or business plate gets photographed, then they can ignore the ticket because an entity does not have a drivers licenese

If the vehicle is assigned to you you bear the primary responsibility just because it is a municipal vehicle does not let you off the hook if it was used with out your knowlege you may stand a chance take it to court however as long as it is assigned to you you bear the responsibility as far as the person not having a license you then have two violations ==no license and running the light i hope this helps
