Red light camera ticket

[JohnTRourke]

It states on the ticket that if you are not the driver to photocopy your DL and send it in to them. You can tell them who was driving or not, your choice. My Dad owns my truck, didn't send in his photo, so he lost his right to contest it by mail.

don't send them shit
they sent you a not legal form
if you send something back, you are admitting that it's ok and then YOU have to contest it.

What the state is doing isn't legal by it's OWN DAMN RULES.

DON'T PAY IT.
DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT
just tear it up and throw it away.

[Sparky]

They had a story on this and the photo vans on Fox news. Even the news caster said he throws them away.

They just send them out and hope the sheeple will pay, trash it. dont answer the door for strangers for 90 day's, (someone that looks alot like me did this a couple of times) and they never came knocking. I have renewed my dl since and have never heard from them. and I have to turn in a dmv record every year for work as well, and they have never shown up. DISCLAIMER: I'm not a lawer I dont even play one on tv,this is just my opinion, do as you please. below is a video on the subject.

I WAS taken to collections for not paying a no front plate parking ticket I received in Denver.

That's a different story

[Irving]

I know, I just wanted to put it out there in case anyone else has any. I figured I'd call their bluff. The city of Denver owns their own collections agency. So they ticket you, then turn it over to their collection agency and get 3 times the price.

So how do they go about collecting? Threats through the mail and...?

[GilpinGuy]

Aren't there stats that show that there are more traffic accidents near red light cameras because people jam on the brakes when the light turns yellow, causing rear end crashes?

The cameras are just revenue generators. No clue on the legality of blatantly not paying though.

They never actually sent me anything that said that they sent me to collections, just that BS about how ever 30 days I didn't pay, I now owed more and more money. I eventually saw it as an active collection on my credit report though, and ended up paying it. I was totally set on NOT paying it, just based on principle*, but I wanted to try and get a house so I'm trying to keep my credit as clean as possible.

*The principle being that how F'ing DARE Denver tell me that I owe THEM money for not having a front plate on my car. It is against their rule, but they are not out any money for me having done so. It is RIDICULOUS for them to tell me that I owe MORE money, because I didn't pay them when they asked. It's not the same as defaulting on a loan or not paying for a purchase. Denver didn't lose money because I parked with no plate, and fuck them for telling me that I owe them MORE, for not paying what I never owed in the first place.

**Cops, yes I know that is against the law. I don't care.
