Red Light Cameras in Illinois: What You Need to Know

Under Illinois law, if you receive a ticket in the mail you have the option to request a hearing to contest the violation.  If you are convicted of red light camera violation, you will have clear consequences. For starters, you will owe a fine­--typically $100. But it is not only a matter of money; the citation will affect your driving record and may result in 20 “points” being added to your license record. Considering the effect that this may have down the road, it is important to think twice before automatically paying the ticket.
