The city of Hammond got ahead of itself, at least that is the opinion of the state of Indiana.

The controversial red light cameras have come to the state of Indiana. Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. has given the OK for red light cameras to be installed in his town.

There is some statistical data that indicates that the more dangerous and sometimes fatal broadside have decreased due to these cameras being installed, but the more minor fender bender (rear end) type of accidents have increased.

Here is an article detailing the failures of people intending to contest their ticket they received due to a red light camera catching them not stopping in time or at all. Few of them succeed, but why? It looks like most argue that the yellow light was not long enough to make stopping possible. The judges usually rule either that they are under no authority to rule on the length of the yellow light, or that the length of the yellow light is not the question before them, the question before them is whether the person stopped in time or not. A new strategy is needed for anyone intending to question this law.
