Sec. 707.010. EFFECT ON OTHER ENFORCEMENT
-
(a) The implementation of a photographic traffic signal enforcement system by a local authority under this chapter does not:

(2) prohibit a peace officer from arresting a violator of Section 544.007(d) as provided by Chapter 543, if the peace officer personally witnesses the violation, or from issuing the violator a citation and notice to appear as provided by that chapter.
(b) A local authority may not impose a civil penalty under this chapter on the owner of a motor vehicle if the operator of the vehicle was arrested or issued a citation and notice to appear by a peace officer for the same violation of Section 544.007(d) recorded by the photographic traffic signal enforcement system.
