Got a speeding ticket in Clayton Louisiana mailed to my house 9mph over. Ticket is $180. It’s from Clayton Police Department but also a third party company. Says if I do not pay I will be referred to collection agency. Should I pay or is this BS and nothing to worry with?

Haha, my Dad called with the same question yesterday.

Haven't had time to look into it yet.

Guessing the quickcourt.biz/clayton-cam is an identifier of it being bullshite.

I’ve heard a lot about these camera tickets in small towns recently. Are people getting these on those mobile radars set up on the side of the highway? I drive a lot and I’ve seen those set up in little towns across Louisiana pretty often recently.

I drive through Clayton all the time and I’ve never seen something that looks like a camera. Was it on 425 or 65?

Take it to court. But don't take Vasoline, use KY. Vasoline can cause cancer.

You are not following the $25k, 1/4 rule. If there are houses worth less than $25k, there is never any reason to go within 1/4 mile of there.

Some of the houses close to that intersection are shown to worth $10k on Zillow.

Following the rule could have voided any attempts at extortion by people claiming to be representatives of some wee municipality road-pirate brigade.

Clayton Louisiana


I passed through here on my first trip to NE LA. It was a late winter overcast day and made it one of the most depressing places I've ever seen. I didn't see a single house/business that wasn't run-down/ abandoned.

That is an economically challenged town and this is the OT. Send them $250.00 and tell them to keep the change.

Trash. In fact , I just passed that little cocksucker about thirty minutes ago. Sitting in the grass with what looks like a regular hand held camera. I was actually going 40 right where the sign starts. Im sure his tickets are real accurate.

City Council in Winnsboro recently authorized their use. Beware of any town along Hwy 15. All are speed traps with or without cameras. Ferriday, clayton sicily island, wisner, gilbert. Winnsboro, baskin, and mangham

If they sent you a picture of your car, send them a picture of some money.

My MIL had that same exact situation and thought I was crazy for telling her to trash it. She didn’t believe me when I said that they can’t prove that she was driving the car.

Same as the red light cameras in Lafayette years ago.

I happened across this law the other day:

La RS 32:45. Required notification for mobile speed camera

A. Local municipal authorities or local parish authorities shall post signs indicating that a mobile speed camera is present. The sign shall be posted no less than two hundred fifty feet and no more than five hundred feet of the location of each mobile speed camera in such a manner as to be clearly visible, not obstructed by any barrier, equipment, vegetation, or other object, and shall be easily viewable by drivers approaching the speed camera. The sign shall comply with the current manual and specifications adopted by the Department of Transportation and Development pursuant to R.S. 32:235.

B.(1) Failure of a municipal or parish authority to comply with Subsection A of this Section shall prohibit the use of any photographic or video images collected by the speed camera to impose or collect any civil or criminal fine, fee, or penalty by or on behalf of the municipal or parish authority.

(2) In any proceeding to collect a civil or criminal fine, fee, or penalty by or on behalf of a municipal or parish authority, a rebuttable presumption shall exist that signs were posted in accordance with Subsection A of this Section.

C. For the purposes of this Section, "mobile speed camera" means a device designed to collect photographic or video evidence of an alleged violation of a posted speed limit by recording images that depict the license plate or other identifying feature of a motor vehicle that is not operated in compliance with a posted speed limit sign.

Has to be said every thread. Do not respond in any way, and certainly DO NOT go to that website and enter your information to look it up.

I drove from BR to Monroe and back yesterday. I noticed a white van parked on the side of the road in one of those shite towns along that route that looked to be one of those speed camera traps. I did not go more than 3mph over the speed limit the whole trip there and back.
