To continue the examples of how unbelievably crappy this parish is...called for 20 minutes and got a busy signal because the online payment system wouldn’t work. Finally got through and she explained some little detail I was doing wrong that you would have no way of knowing and of course no instructions to help.
Finally get online payment to work and they charge a $12.95 convenience fee. Ridiculous.
Then to top it all off I get a letter yesterday saying that I didn’t pay and I owe another $150 or I’ll have my license suspended.
I call these backward yahoos again and she says immediately, “oh, it’s paid, we will run this up to the DA’s office today.”
RUN?!? Do they not have computers in this sorry excuse for a parish?
This place is a joke and an embarrassment to the state...and trust me I know what I massive claim that is...

That’ll show em. What exactly were you gonna buy there anyway? A tank of gas? They’re better off giving you a ticket.

Yep. Makes sense. I'm glad I don't know you IRL. You seem miserable.

roll stopping a stop sign in town the other day, $220


This actually beats the robbery that NOLA attempts with traffic cameras. Five years ago, rolling right on red was about $145, delivered by mail 4 weeks after.

Washington LA was the worse. That's why the law was updated.

Pay it and move on.

And thanks for the heads up!

Hell it's almost $200 these days just for an expired inspection sticker.

My parents grew up in Evangeline and St Landry and all our family still lives there so I visit frequently.

Got a tint ticket there a few years ago that was $375. They wrote a separate violation for every window. Total bullshite.

At least they threw us a bone and made it 75 on that stretch of 49 but the speed limit on the interstate outside of cities should be at least 80. 80 isn’t that fast and most people are doing 80 anyways.

The interstate goes through Evangeline Parish? That's Ville Platte area, right?

Don’t pass through Shenandoah subdivision in St. George. Barney Fife is hiding in elementary school parking lot.

I work in Port Allen. When you come off the Mississippi River bride to get to commercial drive you must get over quickly to turn left. If not you take a right and circle back. It’s rather busy. Well one morning I was late for work and I took a right on red $220 ... I was witch-hunt
