Appeal from a judgment of the District Court of Nassau County, Nassau County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency (Kenneth S. Diamond, J.H.O.), entered December 12, 2012. The judgment, after a nonjury trial, imposed a $50 civil liability upon defendant as the owner of a vehicle which had failed to stop at a red light.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
This action was commenced to impose a civil liability upon defendant as the owner of a vehicle which had been recorded by a camera making a right turn on a red light without coming to a full stop in violation of Local Law No. 12 (2009) of the County of Nassau (see Vehicle and Traffic Law §§ 1111-b, 1111 [d]). At a nonjury trial, the People's evidence consisted of photographs of defendant's vehicle at the scene, a video, and a certificate by a technician certifying that he had reviewed the video and photographs and had determined that defendant's vehicle had not come to a full stop at a red traffic light before the operator of the vehicle had made a right turn, in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1111 (d). Contrary to defendant's contention, the evidence adduced at trial established, prima facie, that defendant had failed to come to a full stop (Vehicle and Traffic Law §§ 1111-b [d]; 146) before making a right turn on red.
We have reviewed defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be either without merit or unpreserved for appellate review.
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
