No tickets - so don't worry at all.
It happened to me once.

I also took advantage of my new car (no license plates) to cross the toll bridge
on a Fast-Track lane to avoid paying toll.

I kept my temp plates 2 months for that exact reason. I received a parking ticket that I totally ignored because I still had on my temp plate. You have no worries.

You are free and clear. There will be no follow up on your dealer tag. The camera's are designed for minimal effort on part of the law enforcement community to enforce red lights and develop income for their jursidiction. They will not waste the time, effort, or money to search for you. Your picture was deleted upon review.

I might or might not be a law enforcement officer :tup:

I've gotten 2 of these back in the day. They need the plate to identify the car and owner and your face as the driver. I dunno about the whole zooming in to see your VIN tho, I think he is just trying to scare you =). I think you'll be fine.

This isn't CSI, you can't take a low-res image and "enhance" it to all of a sudden be able to see what color the driver's eyes are in their rear view mirror. Most of the videos that I've seen of friends running red lights (I have yet to eff that one up) have been roughly D1 resolution (~720x480). There are times where these video cameras are coupled with a license plate camera like the ones found at toll exchanges, but even then they are just set up to grab your plate, nothing else.

Side note: Don't ever think that switching lanes or going extra fast will make the LP cameras not get your plate. I've been selling those things for a few years now and they're good to well over 120MPH and use technology that basically blacks out everything except the plate.

On an aside and just a friendly little FYI...trust me when I tell you that DOTs are linked to you, and its not at all that difficult to run them. A matter of a few extra minutes, and whether or not the officer decides to waste his/her time doing so.

Do you honestly believe DOTs aren't kept tab of? How foolish would it be not to, when if so any thug could print one out and go to town?

In the state of Texas, they recently changed it to where when you purchase any vehicle (new or used), you get a unique temporary plate number and you are responsible for anything for that plate just like your standard plates...

I wouldn't worry about it unless you receive a letter in the mail charging you the fine...otherwise, go on as if nothing had happened...I've gotten one before, and those cameras are some high tech/advanced cameras....
