I logged in and looked at the video. And the two snapshot photos provided with time stamps. Yes the video quality is lower, but on my big screen monitor I could almost see when the light turned red. However, the two snapshots have much better quality. You showed snapshot of B Scene. On my big monitor the light was showing red before you crossed the white limit line. And the snapshot A which was slightly before you reached the white limit line the light was also red. The time stamp numbers at the top of the still photos have something to do with the time when the red light came on. You would have to ask the city clerk to explain exactly.
When you were coming close to the intersection it was at the last leg of being yellow, but when you took your eyes off the signal and concentrated to turn right the light had just turned red earlier. Sorry you just missed it and the technology is just too precise.
I do agree with an earlier poster LTLFTcomposite that red light violations can be killers, especially the straight through one's. So these systems should be used to reduced those. Right turns such as yours was would not generally be as serious an accident, but still could cause one.....
Years ago I knew a Traffic Engineer that successfully appealed a red light violation, but his appeal was based on a inappropriate too short of a Yellow light duration which did not follow the traffic signal standards. That is, the yellow was tooo short to allow a normal driver driving at the posted speed to reasonably be expected to stop.
