My brother has gotten a few red light tickets in New Orleans. I know this because my address is still on his DL and they are sent to my house. He did not pay them. He got his car booted 2 weeks ago in New Orleans. So I know for a fact, that they will boot your car for unpaid red light tickets.

A few years ago I got fed up with this crap and decided to use the option to "challenge in court" on the red light ticket I received for not coming to a complete stop on red (it was also in Lafayette).
I went to an adjudication hearing 6 months later. I researched everything I could possibly think of and had a lawyer friend look everything over. The following are facts I learned along the way although the Will Cover post was pretty spot on.I won the ruling if that matters to the OP
1. It will not in any way affect your credit
2. An officer does not review the tape. An employee for Redflex sitting in a cubicle in Arizona does (this is the case for Lafayette not certain of other cities)
3. If you simply throw the ticket away it isn't (at the time of my ticket) possible to verify you received it
4. It is not a criminal offense
5. Civil Offenses aren't submitted to DMV or insurance agencies
6. There were three loop holes specifically given that would warrant the ticket void. One of them is if you are yielding to a police or emergency vehicle
