I looked around to see who was running the light and I was the only car around. I came to a stop well behind the line and noticed that the camera was a ways back from the intersection. There was only the one set of lines that I stopped at. Now to be clear, if I do receive a ticket from this I fully intend to fight it. I had a friend riding with me who can witness what happened, but how many think I will actually get a ticket from this and what are my chances of getting it thrown out if I do?
You cannot fight them. Period. Many of those tickets are based out of another state, even, from what I understand. You may get something in the mail from NY. (My cousin did, which is what I base this on).

However, if you do not pay it (where I live), the maximum find only increases to like $125, and no warrant is issued, nor does it count on your license.

It is admissible in court. It does not necessarily constitute sufficient proof though.

Hear say would be "my friend told me she saw him run the light"

this is wrong, or at least not universally true. I have fought and won many times.

In Washington if you get a camera ticket, you are allowed to plead that you were not driving at the time. If you do that, the judge dismisses the case.

I have a radar detector that also notifies of redlight and speed cameras (via a database and built-in GPS). It's an Escort. Can't remember the model right now. It comes in very handy warning before you get to the intersection and just as you reach it.
