Now I just avoid the intersection completely. I hate to sound like a teabagger, but the whole thing smacks of a militia toll-collecting checkpoint in a third world country.

That is really catching a lot of folks, I bet. Very infuriating. Same thing here, turning right on red without coming to a complete stop at Lover’s Lane and Central.

Twice. Sadly, I live a mile from it. Even if you cruise through at 5mph with no traffic coming, you'll still get hit with the fine. @Grant: Same thing happened to me. Twice.

Going west on Lovers Lane and turning right (north) onto the access road. I had a red light as did the northbound access road so I did not come to a complete stop as I turned right onto the access road. I can't believe an actual police officer would give a ticket for that; low probability of an accident from turning right on red so lot of people probably do it. In other words, a great place to put a red light camera if you are looking for revenue. I got a ticket from the redlight camera there, and I imagine a lot of people get hit the same way I did.

That intersection was supposed to be US 75 and Lovers Lane. Fixed here: http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/red-light-cameras/dallas/237/n-central-expy-and-e-lovers/ Good catch.
