Normally a Red "stop" light requires the car to come to a stop and it can only proceed FORWARD if the light changes to green Or if it is a blinking Red light then they can proceed when traffic clears the intersection. Right Turn on Red allows you to come to a complete stop and then proceed to turn Right if the traffic allows. This allows you to proceed even though you do not have a Green light.

Generally, a red light means "stop," but in many cities, it is permitted to make a right turn on red, with caution, if it is safe to do so (no other cars are coming). But as you have noticed, there are exceptions. If you see a sign that says "no right turn on red," that means that specific red light requires a full stop, and you may not make a right turn until the light changes to green. In other words, if you do not see any signs, you generally are allowed to make a right turn on red. If you do see a sign, you are not allowed to make a right turn on red.
According to the law, you have to make a complete stop before making a right turn on red. So, technically, you have broken the law and the red light camera caught you in the act.

No, you cannot turn right on a red arrow in California.
In the United States, you can turn right on a red arrow after coming to a complete stop if there are no oncoming vehicles or pedestrians in the intersection and if there are no signs prohibiting the turn. Unlike a solid red light, a red arrow indicates that a right turn is prohibited unless otherwise specified by local traffic laws. It is important to always yield to any pedestrians and oncoming traffic before making the right turn on a red arrow.
It's not a federal law, but more of a state-versus-city law situation.
