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 did not read through all of this thread, so this may have been posted.

Our local radio talk show lawyer has advice on this. He says to register your car in your wife's name and her car in your name. When the ticket comes you tell them that it is not your driving the car and they can't make you pay the ticket. Remember they are ticketing the driver not the car. In addition you can not be compelled to "rat" your spouse or friends out. The burden of proof is on the ticketing agency.

I've not done this with my wife, but may in the future.
