Here's the deal...got a bullshite violation while in nola in November. Video clearly shows I came to a complete stop at the red light and took a right after I let a car cross the intersection before going. Still got popped for it, may have been a malfunction...who knows.

Anyway, the whole system is fricking incompetent. I do not live in nola nor do I plan to go there for a hearing and I'm not paying this shite ($130). I call the customer support...guy watches video and agrees that I probably shouldn't have received the violation, but says that I just need to submit a written response and it may be taken off. I mail in my defense to the company in Arizona that does it, stating that it is not possible for me to appear at a hearing due to location. What do you know, I get a letter in the mail that they scheduled my hearing conveniently this week at 10am.

What would the OT do? Anyone have a similar experience? I know it doesn't go on your record, but would not paying it off mean anything significant?

Was there a "no right on red" sign? I can't see any other reason why you would be ticketed since you came to a full stop to let the other car pass.

Did you stop before or after the thick white line or crosswalk if no thick white line?

Did you stop before you crossed the stop bar or crosswalk if there wasn't a stop bar

Don't pay it. It's a scam and they have no legal right to fine you.

I'd rather just pay $130 than deal with the hassle and a possibility of walking out to my truck in a boot one day

Got one in Baton Rouge 2 or 3 years ago. They sent a few letters... the company in AZ, then some law office in OH or some shite. Everything came from different states.

I never paid it, the letters eventually stopped, I've had no issues with DMV services or collections.

It's all bullshite.
