Speeding cameras Options

[last337]

I am not sure if anyone has brought this up before but they have been implementing speeding/red light cameras down here for some time now and unfortunately I have been nabbed several times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Every time I get one I am always tempted to go fight it but seeing as it doesnt hit your record or you insurance it is usually just easier to log on to the website and pay the darn thing.

I have always heard of people getting out of them by sending letters saying that there is no violation of contract between you and the ticketing company (in my case photonotice.com) and siting that the company itself is not a legal entity and the ticket was never issued correctly by a ticketing officer. I also always want to question the most recent calibration records for said camera.

Anyways, has anyone ever had luck with this? I am not against paying the price of breaking the law and I dont normally speed excessively but I hate speed traps in little towns designed just to do that, trap you. Also, if I am going to pay something I would like to speak with an officer and at least ask to see his radar gun and check his calibration sticker.

Here is one of my favorite pictures of Yopu...

First of all, usually the first thing you get is something called a psuedo-summons. It looks official but in reality it is a letter from the camera company and they are looking for you to fill it out and send it back. It is an admission of guilt. Don't do it. You are not required to respond to a letter from a private company.

There are three ways to get out of it. One, if you are the registered owner but you were not driving, go to court. Show them that the person in the picture is not you. Hopefully it isn't your twin because in that case you're screwed. Second, if the picture doesn't clearly show your face, for instance from the nose down is obscured by your visor or rear view mirror, just ignore it because without you admitting guilt by sending the psuedo-summons back, they will just toss it because they cannot clearly identify the driver. The third way, and this is how Ms. Yopu got out of this particular one, is that I was the registered owner of the car. While the picture clearly shows her, the registered owner is most probably a male as his name is Robert... If you don't respond to the psuedo-summons they will see the gender/unclear picture problem and throw it out. If you weren't driving and hopefully it doesn't look like you, go to court. You aren't required to identify the driver.
