I got one on Henry Clay in New Orleans a few years ago and ignored it. I live downtown so I constantly park on the streets of New Orleans and have never been booted. I also get parking tickets often that I do pay timely. They are only 20 bucks which is cheaper than parking in most lots around the city. Long story short, if anyone would get booted for not paying a speeding ticket it would be me and its never happened.

Got one right outside of Baton Rouge doing 64 in a 55. Was only a $60 ticket so I went ahead and paid it instead of having to deal with future problems. fricking sucks though.

exactly, if you don't sign for the ticket, then the ticket is simply like a parking violation.
Wrong, a parking ticket is a real ticket. A photo violation is not. I got a photo enforced red light violation ticket in 2011 and haven't paid it. I've registered at least 3 vehicles since then with no issues.
