Traffic Camera Ticket in Laffy

Anyone ever get one of these for speeding? I've heard they really aren't enforceable, and that the company that is actually issuing these has been under investigation in the past or something like that.
Got one in the mail about a month ago for doing like 5 over. The fine itself isn't bad (less than $100), but it's the principle and I still think it's bullshite. I drive past cops all day doing 5 over, that's pretty much a thing, aint it?

Got one over the summer, pretty much decided to disregard it because everybody says they don't pay them & there is nothing they can do about it. Well, over the weekend I got a letter saying it had been turned over to collections. So I'm just gonna send them that $35, originally $25, & call it a day.

I get these all the time. Just threw one straight in the trash yesterday. I don't even open them anymore. I have been getting these for years and have NEVER had anything negative on my credit report. I have excellent credit.
They will threaten you with official looking letters, etc. but ultimately they just don't go through with the threats because so many people pay them. Don't pay it! Maybe they will eventually get rid of these fricking things...

The fine is about $27 I think. Just go pay it.

I've gotten 4 for 6,7 and 8 mph over and apparently not stopping completely turning right on red. This city can suck a fat one. I'm not paying a ticket for something a cop won't write a ticket for.
I did get a collection notice but only one and nothing was posted to my credit report. If you do get a hit, which I don't think will happen, you can just contest it and it will be expunged.
I've had no reduction in credit score since moving here and getting these ridiculous tickets.
Lil food for thought. The city released a report saying there was currently 12 million in unpaid tickets since installation of the cameras, but they just signed up for one year back in January I think.

We should make a damn sticky for this.
The only ones you should even consider paying are the ones issued in NOLA and that is because they will boot your car. Ignore all others.

Make sure it's not like NOLA where the city will find and boot your car if you haven't paid.

Yep. Mine was $25 for about 5 over. Paid it and moved on with my life. If it had been more than $25, frick that.

Your credit report will tell you that there is an enforcement mechanism. I had to pay $800 to clear my record in order to build a house because I thought it was bullshite and unenforceable

How is it legal for a private company to hand out speeding tickets?
Posted on 9/22/16 at 9:15 am to Cowboyfan89
I got one when they first added cameras in Lafayette (10-12 years ago). Never paid it. Never showed up on credit background.

What upset me is that multiple people drive my dads vehicle and there was no way to determine who was driving the vehicle at the time of receiving one of these.. and he is the one responsible.. he's pretty old.. and then when I reviewed the tape.. whoever was driving did not seem to be speeding whatsoever or going any faster than the cars before and after on the tape.. it's so nit picky..
I hate they hold him responsible, but he wasn't driving.. when if they had been pulled over by an officer.. the driver would have gotten the traffic violation.. not my dad..
I know these type of tickets are often not recognized in court and have been ruled to not have to pay.. but I just pay it to avoid the trouble.. but I agree.. it's the principle of the thing.. and just a way for them to steal money.

If you broke the law, you should pay the fine.
They removed a red light camera near my house for bullshite reasons......I literally watch 3-4 cars run it every morning on my way to work. It's a dual left hence 3-4. They've also experienced an increase in crashes since.
Witnessing this crap and almost getting hit myself has me back on the camera bandwagon. Provided it's an appropriate location.

I got atleast 4 this year and I throw them in the trash asn never hear from them again.

I got one on University at I10. I reported it to corporate as required. Go pay the 25.00 and the girl tells me "it's a civil fine" - won't go on insurance. Nothing but a money grab. will not pay another ticket if not issued by an LEO.

Ok so what's the verdict? To pay or not to pay?
Posted on 12/17/16 at 6:40 pm to Cowboyfan89
I wouldn't pay it, and if a collection company called I would threaten to file a complaint with the Attorney General Office if they placed it on my credit report.

Hose job, Tuscaloosa has a company that is putting them on your credit report. Wifey been down this road.
