California Court of Appeal

In a prosecution for failing to stop at a red light at an intersection, the conviction is affirmed, where: 1) there was no abuse of discretion in the trial court's admission into evidence of computer-generated photographs and a video of her traffic violation, as testimony on the accuracy and reliability of computer hardware and software is not required as a prerequisite to admission of computer records; 2) the photographs and video were not inadmissible hearsay; and 3) substantial evidence supported the trial court's factual finding that the yellow light interval of the signal conformed to the statutory requirement.
