Don't know about CA, but in this state, yes, a driver would get a ticket. Drivers are required to yield as long as they don't break a law.

Just as a side issue about remote monitoring of
red-light runners ...

One unintended consequence of cameras watching
for people who run lights happened in Fremont
about 2 years ago.  A couple of stop lights were
set up with cameras as an experiment.

During the course of rush hour traffic one day at
one of the experimental camera sites, an emergency
vehicle was stuck behind several vehicles sitting
for a red light.  Apparently the fire truck was boxed
in since the roads were several lanes wide and the
truck was all the way over in a right lane. Lights
and siren were blaring away.

Q: Did any of the cars move out of the way of the
fire truck and in doing so some would have to
move through the intersection and thus thru the
red light?

A: No.

Reason: No one wanted to get a ticket running
the red light.

Be rather ironic that the fire truck was responding
to the home of someone sitting at that intersection.

Just something to think about.
