The unblinking eyes of Germantown’s red light cameras have caught one guy in town who really should have known better.

According to a story in today’s local news section, the cameras caught Germantown Municipal Court Judge Ray Clift slipping through a red light on a left turn at Germantown Road and Wolf River Boulevard.

Clift, whose duties include hearing traffic cases, paid the $50 fine without protest.

Good for him, I say. Although I wonder how tempted he was to try to use the “my-foot-was-stuck-on-the-accelerator-because-it-was-tangled-in-my-judicial-robes” excuse.
