1. A traffic light violation prediction system for a traffic signal having a current light phase comprising one of the set consisting of at least red and green, comprising:

  • at least one violation prediction image capturing device, said violation prediction image capturing device providing image data representative of at least one vehicle approaching said traffic signal;

    a violation prediction unit, responsive to said violation prediction image capturing device and an indication of said current traffic light phase, wherein said violation prediction unit is operative to generate a violation probability score for said at least one vehicle approaching said traffic signal, said violation probability score reflecting a likelihood that said at least one vehicle will violate a red light phase of said traffic signal; and

    wherein said violation prediction system is further operable to record at least one image of said at least one vehicle approaching said traffic signal responsive to a determination that said violation probability score is at least as large as a predetermined threshold.
