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.

I agree to a point. Running a red light and not coming to a full stop at a signal or sign and continuing to make a right hand turn if it's safe to do so are quite different ... and I'll bet almost everybody out here has done that more times than they'd actually admit here.

As for the serious gross violators, a couple of days ago, my wife was walking one of our dogs across a signal controlled intersection and had just passed from #2 lane into #1 lane when a car sped through the red light in lane #1 right behind her (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

She said it happened so fast, she wasn't able get the plate # or even the make of vehicle ... all she said was it was white Asian sedan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
