Ask HN: Fight Traffic Cam Tickets?

My wife got a ticket issued by a traffic camera in Albany Oregon. We do not live there and had no idea they had started such a program.

She is a ridiculously safe driver and was flowing with traffic. If they got her, then they likely got dozens (if not hundreds) of other vehicles from this speed trap.

Such red-light-turned-speed-trap installations are repugnant beyond words and needs to be stopped. We would like to know whether it is worth fighting. Willing to pay an order of magnitude more than the $165 ticket to make the department completely miserable.
