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.

We had a judge get out of his ticket i Washington because there was a ruling some were the interior of your vehicle is not public domain so taking a picture was an act of voyeurism and illegal. The sate cant use a pic if it was obtained illegally and had no other evidence.
If a judge can get away with it ??

FYI if the tickets are issued on a regestered company rig most companys dont even get sent a notice.(i have heard)

I would think out teeners would have the plates mounted to low to get a pic?

Not true. I was the education director of an ambulance company and I knew of 3 people who were terminated because they appeared on a mailed camera ticket. I was involved in the union investigation of one of them as I was in the back with a Cal State Sacramento Nursing Student and the employee told the company I was having her do a blood sugar and told him to drive smoothly so he ran the light. Not true. I never told the drivers anything unless they were going to the wrong place. The company regularly got 20-30 of these tattletale tickets from the camera company a month. As you might imagine, most of them were pictures of the ambulance going through a red light with lights and siren on.
