ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

• Because the camera cannot tell who is driving, the ticket is issued to whomever the car is

registered to.

• Because the camera cannot tell who is driving, the violation will not go on your driving history.

• You cannot use your Good Driving Record.

• Because the violation does not go on your driving history, it will not affect your insurance.

However, if you ran a red light, or took a right turn on red without a complete stop and an officer

pulled you over, the offense will go on your driving history, thus affecting your insurance.

• If you decide to pay your $86 fine, you can avoid a $6.95 processing fee by sending a check via

US Mail rather than paying online or via phone.

HOW DOES THE CAMERA SYSTEM WORK?

The red light photo enforcement system measures your speed as you approach the signal. If your speed

indicates that you are unlikely to stop before the signal changes to red, it captures a digital photograph of

your vehicle behind the stop bar. If you then travel past the stop bar while the signal is red, it captures a

second photograph of your vehicle in the intersection and extracts the image of your license plate. The

system also captures a motion video of the event which you can review online. A Charlestown police

officer reviews every single violation.

HOW DO I CONTEST A NOTICE OF VIOLATION?

To CONTEST YOUR TICKET: You have been automatically assigned a court hearing (date and time).

You may choose to appear before the judge at the Charlestown Municipal Court and present any defense

available by law. If you need to reschedule your hearing date you may do so by calling the Charlestown

Municipal Court at 401-364-1210 up until 24 hours before the assigned court date. If you wish to appear for

your hearing there will be an arraignment. At the arraignment you may admit the charge(s) or request a full

hearing (trial) where evidence will be presented. If you admit to the violation, a judgement will be entered

with a fine and $35 court costs. If you plead not guilty, the matter will be continued to another date for trial.

If you are found not guilty at trial, the matter will be dismissed and no payment will be required. If you are

found guilty at trial, a judgment will be rendered against you and all fines, costs, and assessments must be

paid immediately. You have the right to appeal any judgment rendered by the Charlestown Municipal Court

to the Appellate panel of the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal. You must then file a Notice of Appeal within 10

days from the Municipal Court judgement accompanied by a fee of $25. All appeals will follow the rules

and procedures provided by law. You may find the corresponding Notice of Appeal and other forms by

visiting courts.ri.gov.

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO REVIEW IMAGES REMOTELY.

You have the right to review, remotely (www.ZeroFatality.com), the photographic or electronic images or

the streaming video evidence that constitutes a rebuttable presumption of the violation.
