Got one a few months ago. Didn't pay it and have received a couple of notices. They have threatened to send to collection agency. What are consequences if I just keep ignoring it?

If you are regularly in New Orleans, you might think about paying it because they ride around scanning plates and will boot your car

I've got around 20 in New Orleans, but never park on the street, and if I do, it is after dark

1. Real tickets will instruct you to contact the court to resolve matter in question while fake tickets (ATS and RedFlex) may tell you not to contact the court. Fake tickets are sent via regular US Postal Mail service, but appear to be "official," which they are not. Criminal citations are sent by registered or certified mail.
2. In Louisiana, RLC and speed camera citations are NOT a criminal offense. They are treated as CIVIL matter, partly because the OWNER of the vehicle is issued the citation (doesn't matter who is driving) and if contested, you won't be awarded the opportunity to go before a judge. Instead, you will have a hearing with an Administrative Adjudication officer (city appointed).
3. CIVIL offenses are NOT reported to the Louisiana DMV or your insurance company.
4. In Baton Rouge, city officials will NOT turn over your Social Security Number to a private company (ATS and RedFlex).
5. If unpaid fine goes on your credit report, simply dispute online with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Ask them to investigate and validate the debt owed. ATS and RedFlex must provide proof that you entered into an agreement for goods or services or signed promissory note.
6. If threatened with a collection notice or a harassing phone call, do the math. ATS and RedFlex send out thousands upon thousands citations each and every day. This is profitable for them to do, because many people are scared into thinking they have to pay (the media plays a large part in this) and because it's the "right thing to do." But think about the numbers ...

This was a post by WillCover that I bookmarked a while ago. No clue if any of it is true but it sounds like he knows what the frick he's talking about. So if I ever get one of these tickets I'm following this advice.

Side question: How illegal and/or how profitable would it be to just send out a shite ton of these tickets and ask for money-orders to be sent to a PO box? If you send out a thousand asking for 100$ and get seven back, you made a few bucks off dumb people and the risk of getting caught can't be that high right?

Willcover posted extensively on this a while back.
TL;DR version is don't worry about it. If they ever do any of the collection agency stuff they claim to, and actually ping your credit, just dispute the charge (Willcover described this better) and it gets scrubbed. This is all assuming baton Rouge though.

ETA: great job phitiger1764. that's the full answer.

They won't.

The worst that can happen is that they'll tow your car if they spot your license plate somewhere.
