Does any OTers know about speeding tickets from photo enforcement from Baker? Received one for 8 over and it got lost in the mail. Now I owe the late fee.
What are my options and are these the same as the BTR redlight cameras?

I got two there. I wrote the Mayor and told him to stuff them up his butt. I had brought some employees into town for a function and they hit me with that crap. I will never spend another dime of company money in Baker city limits. BTW, got two or three threatening letters and nothing since.

Ignore the letters. If they put it against your credit file a dispute with the 3 major credit bureaus and it goes away. You never agreed to pay anything so they have no right to bill you.

Don't let people guilt you into paying it either. If they want to get my money pay for patrols so that at least someone local has a job. These cameras are managed by out of state companies that simply process the payment. The city gets like half of the fine.

I got one from there and a few days before it was due my house flooded. I called a week later to the company up north who handles the payments and was told even though it now had a $150 late fee to pay and write a note explaining my situation. Well, a note was written back stating I owed the ticket and the late fee. Needless to say, I couldn't? care less about Baker.

I rec'd 2 photo tickets (15 min apart) from Baker last year.

I ignored the fines.

They added late fees.

Threatened to turn me over to collections.

Got a threatening letter from collections lawyer in like Wisconsin or something .

I never paid a dime. It did not affect my credit score & I stay away from Baker.

Some here - got two of them. Don't pay them a fricking dime. I speed through there on purpose now. The police are laid up eating donuts and they let a robot take a picture and send a bill to you from Arizona. frick them.

don't pay it. It can't go on your credit report either because they don't have your social security number.

I drive past both of them twice a day. Been hit a couple times. Never paid it. I slow down to 50 passing the cameras though. Do about 70 between them they really make you drive slow through Baker

I looked at my video and some guy is flying by me. Maybe he got one too, but I just went on the assumption I got his by mistake. So I didn't pay it. Just received my 2nd notice from the collection agency in Wisconsin. Pffttt.

NEVER respond to, log in, check online, or anything of the sort unless a cop physically hands you a ticket......

EVER

Baker still doing this. Just got my first this year, 2024. They now claim “could result in court action against you, immobilization of your vehicle, and/or reporting debt to collection agency.

They want $135 now since I ignored the first one.

How has no local taken a sledge hammer, or at least a can of spray paint, to this camera?

I paid mine. The fine is not that much and it’s not worth the hassle or worry to not pay.

Baton Rouge probably doesn’t have red light cameras. Many people see those cameras and think that’s what they are. Cameras are being used nationwide to detect traffic and control the traffic light based on what the camera sees. Most times it works but sometimes it doesn’t.
