In January, I processed a TicketKick appeal for a friend who got a red-light camera ticket in MV. Their ticket had a “Declaration” from an “officer” who stated he wasn’t present at the scene but located in AZ. My friend paid $200 to TK for a Trial by Declaration and was subsequently found guilty by a SD traffic judge. I then processed TK’s money-back guarantee and my friend had the $200 credit on their cc within 30 days.
My friend could have then requested a “real” trial but they chose not to because they are too busy with work.
The court gave them 4 more mos to complete traffic school. After they completed an online course, I sent in the Certificate of Completion and subsequently called the court to verify that the ticket has been dismissed. And it has.
Note: You have to post the bail (in this case, $480) within the required time frame and file the Trial by Declaration before your appearance date.
Total cost was $508 (after the TK refund was processed).
