About the boxes on top of traffic lights

the boxes on top of traffic lights?
they are for detecting car movement in a cross walk and will take your licence photo when you dont stop at the line before the intersection. and if you creep up into the crosswalk it will also take a photo and then report it to that towns police dept to issue a warning letter or citation. i just got my warning letter today . i work in Newark, NJ and thats who sent it.
