What happens when the camera captures a Chesapeake city vehicle?

City vehicles are not immune to this program. When a City vehicle violates the red light, the video and vehicle number are sent to the appropriate department to determine who the driver of the vehicle was at that time. From there, each department reviews the video and issues the appropriate punishment in accordance with their policies.
