Anyone gotten one? My wife has managed to get 2, one about 3 months ago, then another last week!
Both were at the same intersection, same corner, making a right on red without coming to a complete stop. She feels terrible, swears she did stop, especially after getting the first one. I tend to believe her, she is a very cautious driver, not one to take chances.
The car is registered in my name only, so the ticket is in my name. I'm undecided what to do.
The first one, I just paid it, didn't question it. This one has me in a quandary, should I pay it, contest it, ignore it?
There is a place to sign and return, ask for a hearing. If I do this, chances are I will never hear from them.... OR if they do set a date, I take off work, show up without a lawyer, I'm automatically guilty, and will be court ordered to pay, probably plus court costs.
Or, I can ignore it. This is not a criminal offence. No warrant, registration, license, etc cannot be withheld. They will turn it over to collection agency, but not against credit rating. There is a one time $25 late fee, which raises it to $100, so they say.
Or I pay it. It says "paying is an admission of guilt" which may or may not go against MY driving record.
Here's my take... Technically, I am NOT GUILTY! I was not driving, the camera only takes a pic of the car and license plate, not the occupants. Can I be held responsible if someone else driving my car commits a violation? Can I be required to testify against my wife?
I'm not completely opposed to red light cameras, I think they have their place, but they can also be used as revenue generators when set and enforced too closely.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
