Just curious, wasn't there some kind of lawsuit challenging the validity of the city to collect fines for these? Asking for a friend.

If you're asking if you need to pay it, you don't.

Not sure on the lawsuit part.

A lot of states will call it a civil charge to avoid due process issues. It's a racket by the state to make more money under the guise of public safety.

I have always said the moment they start sending fine money to the state general fund is the moment you stop this business of making LEO de facto tax collectors.

some of you selfish assholes act like you dont even care of Latoya can go on lavish overseas trips that are ostensibly tangentially related to her duties as the mayor of a failing American city.

At least it's been a while since we saw this topic come up.

yes and they won, they cannot enforce red light tickets because they cannot prove who the driver was.

thats why everyone says dont pay them, they arent enforceable under the law, they depend on idiots to pay them when they get threatening letters in the mail

throw it in the trash and carry on with your day

Only recourse is to boot the vehicle if they find it in their jurisdiction.

Got one in Florida on a rental car and the rental company paid it and charged my card

It was for a rolling right turn on red.

Nothing I could do about it. I wasn't even driving the car. It was one my wife's sisters who borrowed it.

Yes CAD still big mad over it.

same. or sort of. I got one in my company car, which was then charged to my corporate cc and I had to pay that out of pocket. I was so annoyed.

all the others I get in my personal car go straight into the trash.

WTF, you let your wife's sister borrow a car you rented? On what fricking planet did that make sense?

Be glad a B.S. ticket was the worst that happened.

One day there is going to be a thread filled with outrage when they crack down and start arresting all you folks that thought you were smart enough to not pay your tickets.
