Red light camera ticket

Anyone ever get one? I heard you don't have to pay a red light or speeding ticket unless a cop physically hands it to you.

I got one and had to pay it.

Trying to find the news article where its only valid if the cops hands you the ticket.

If by valid you mean counts towards points and insurance, yes.

I was told when I got caught speeding by one that an officer reviews every ticket before they are sent out.

Yeah there's an officer name on it.

I researched this a few months ago when the wife was busted for running a red light.

Basically you have to hide out for 90 (?) days. Don't answer the door, watching for cop cars parked in your neighborhood when you're coming & going, etc. If your out mowing the lawn and they stop by then you just got tagged not only with the ticket but now with additional fees.

If your a single guy in an apt. go ahead and give it a try. Kids and spouse potentially could sort of complicate things if everybody isn't on the same page.

I paid, it was easier than hiding out for 3 months.

I just don't like the idea that if you drive my car and get caught the ticket will be under my name.

I got a speeding ticket via camera up in the Fort. It was like $40 so I just paid it.

I didn't contest it since in the picture I was pulling on a Coors Light. Figured I wouldn't push my luck!

Thats what i told my girlfriend when she got one. She didnt pay. When she got served by the sheriff guess who ended up paying for her fee to be served.

Deagler,

If I understand what you just posted, someone else was driving your vehicle and they sent you the ticket. If that is correct, you can send in a copy of your driver's license and sign the form stating you weren't the driver at the time of the ticket and they will dismiss it.
