Don't mention it, this isn't a moving violation. Since it is a red-light camera or speeding camera, why are you worried? I see no moral dilemma for you, how will the IO know about your speeding ticket?
It's a criminal infraction in CA and therefore the OP must disclose it.

Bob,
I see why CA has financial problems, speeding in your vehicle can be classified as a criminal infraction for the purpose of ripping your nuts out of your money....? I am glad I live in the DC area, speeding is as American as apple pie, plus you can use your radar to limit this goverment intrusion.
I predict that other states in financial difficulties will eventually follow the CA model as well.
Al,
I completely agree that it's ridiculous to consider running a red light a criminal offense. Since you are in DC, I'm sure you're familiar with Virginia's ridiculous traffic law that considers speeding to be a misdemeanor (reckless driving). How's that for draconian?

V,
I am aware of how VA is acting, couple of years ago, there was a big fight with regard to these red light camera being back in VA roads. For some reason, they were approved for return into the street. I am not warm to VA, I am considering driving to NC for thelong weekend, but I would have to drive via VA, plus since I enjoy speeding, my radar is illegal there. Speeding as a misdemeanor is way out of line and ought to be challenged in the courts and struck as excessive. I thought we had freedoms from big brother, but our freedom is consistently being harassed by these measures.
Not really draconian if you consider they are among the leading causes of car accidents.
ok. so I went to court, paid the fine (> $500 with traffic school...sigh!) AND took traffic school and would be taking certificate of completion, along with receipt of paying the fine with me to Oath.
Anything else I should do before Oath to make immigration officer happy?
Can they still create the problem given fine came out > 500 (without traffic school it was < 500, with traffic school it iwas > 500). I opted for traffic school to avoid increase in my insurance etc..

Strictly speaking nowadays the fine is only small part of what you paid for a traffic ticket.
I think not allspeeding are cited as reckless driving in VA. Only those 20 mph above limit or 80 mph on interstates.
