OT: Traffic Ticket

[Doofrat]

My take on it is that it’s just a system run on laziness by both parties. The city knows red light cameras are BS, but it just wants you to get scared and pay the ticket so they and their accomplices (the companies who build these automatic cash machines) can get their money. Send out an official looking notice with photographic evidence and scare the mark into paying up. The victims of this scam just want to pay it and get it over with and are afraid of ignoring the notice and/or appearing in court.
This is not legal advice, just me bitching.
And no I’ve never gotten a red light ticket.

Speaking of red light cameras… tonight I was turning left onto Mira Mesa Blvd from Scranton Rd with a full on green light arrow when the red light camera flashed me. Should I be expecting a citation in the mail? Would that be easy to contest since I obviously did not even come close to running a red light?

I’ve seen it happen a million times before. Those red light cameras flashing when cars are turning left with green left arrows, sometimes 5 in a row. It finally nabbed me.

partypup is right. I had a red light ticket. It got mailed to my old place. I never got it b/c I moved. I moved like 3 different times since I got the ticket. I didn’t even know I got the ticket.

I didn’t find out until like 5 years later when I got pulled over for something else. The cop said I had a failure to appear on a ticket. There was no warrant. I took care of it only b/c I was scared that it would go to collections. I heard they can send it to collections and it could affect your credit.

But looking back, they had 5 years to send it to collections and they didn’t. Probably the only reason to pay it would be if you didn’t want to be bothered by a bored cop running plates that may need an excuse to pull you over.
