A traffic citation ticket taken by traffic photo radar sent to me for running the red light voilation. How can I correct prove evidence to support my appeal case. who can I call or ask question concern this.

1. Can the police take control traffic light to target / single out unwanted individual person to appear red light at prosite time while my vehicle is moving toward traffic light ?

1. If the equipment ( traffic light ) is not routinely calibrated and compared to standard?

2. Just last fall, in 2009, a glitch with an Illinois State Police vendor responsible for generating tickets through speed vans positioned on I-88 . ?

If you are appealing this case you are limited to appealing it on grounds which were raised in the post trial motion in the court that heard your trial and made the finding. New evidence is generally not allowed in the appellate court except in very particular cases.
