It will however end up on your credit report and they will add on a bunch of fees almost equaling the ticket.


Nope. They will send you a bunch of letters. I took a right at a red light one night, I paused but didn’t stop for 2 seconds or something- didn’t pay it. Nothing ever happened other than them sending me letters and warnings. No credit issues, no warrants, nothing.

Check where the letters are coming from and ask yourself, "How can an outfit in 'Arizona'accept money for a broken law in Louisiana?" If you want to dispute it, you won't be doing it in a Baton Rouge court. It will be at a designated location with a board, not a judge, to review. Don't pay it. Ignore the letters. Don't even open them.

Don't pay it. Do not go to the link shown in the letter to view the video. They have no way to prove that you ever received the letter. If they were serious about it they would send it certified mail.
The vast majority of the tickets issued are for bogus right on red violations. You made a legal turn but you did not come to a complete stop then make your turn. Total BS. A real cop sitting at that intersection would not write you a ticket for that.
