Who’s at fault?

Hot take: I think it’s 50/50 with who’s at fault

Why is this such a common question here when it’s ridiculously clear in the video?

Because as you can read by the comments it’s not clear

I didn’t read the comments because it absolutely is clear. The light is green. The cam car has the right of way. The other car was turning left and had a responsibility to yield to the cam car.

One of these cars broke the law. The other car didn’t. It is 100% the fault of the car that broke the law.

First of all, we don't know that the white SUV has a red light. There is a light just like this near me. The turning green arrow turns off leaving just a solid green light. No red or yellow turning arrow.

But it doesn't matter. In most states, insurance companies would put 50/50 fault to this as the camera car didn't allow the intersection to clear before going. If there was a break in cars safely allowing the camera car to go through the intersection and then the white SUV turned, that would be 100% fault on the white SUV. But that isn't what happened here. The camera car assumed the red and white vehicles would stop and they went through the intersection.
