I would like to start by saying that although I feel the amount paid for a red light violation is a lot, $158, the practice is not illiegal.  The best you can do is _try_ to not run red lights nor be hit from behind because you're now gun-shy of being caught by the red light.

The company, ViolationInfo.com, cites the following:

"What is a red light running violation?".... includes statutes

Florida Statutes §§ 316.0083, 316.074(1) and 316.075(1)(c)1

 

This is a call for those who have received a notice and who are planning to pay it, please do so without incurring their 'convenience fee' of $7.90.

Floridians take note: this also shows how the fines are divvied up

REQUEST FOR LOCAL HEARING - RED LIGHT VIOLATION
P.O. Box 22091
Tempe, AZ 85285-2091
Fax: 480-990-4819
"I also understand that if the NOV is affirmed by the court and/or local hearing
officer, that I am responsible for the payment of the original penalty plus up to $250.00 in local fees as set forth
in F.S.S. 316.083 (5)"

So if you fight it and lose - and you will lose - it is then $250.

I logged on and, in fairness, I did (just barely) enter the intersection after the light turned red.  My football coach/civics teacher/driver's ed teacher would not have been pleased.

Nowhere on the site is the information about the extra fee.  Until you have already paid it.
