The good news is if you fail to pay the camera ticket, the worst thing that can happen is that they will boot your car or tow it. While this is not ideal, it is much better than being arrested and brought to jail for missing court or for having a suspended license.

From a LA law firm website. Luckily, it sounds like no DMV penalties for failure to pay. But, other shitty penalties may apply if you’re caught by a license plate scan in somewhere like Orleans Parish.

I remember they put up those speeding vans in LP that gave out tickets and the LP residents started shooting up the vans. Eventually it became unprofitable due to the damage to their vehicles

Throw that shite straight into the trash. Only total suckers pay those which is why they keep doing it knowing they can’t actually enforce it

I’m surprised anyone hasn’t “taken care” of those things by now.

I’d think the shithole of Baker would have bigger things to worry about than speeding tickets. Like murderers and gang bangers but whatever they can get from whitey is a good thing.

Have you ever been to baker? Probably not
Is it a shithole? Probably.
Gang bangers? No more than any other small town in la, ms, al.
Are there a lot of murderers? Definitely not.
Baker’s not Malibu, but there’s worse places to be.
Piss off.

The Advocate ran an article back in 2016 that said they are entirely unenforceable. If a rag like that suggests people don’t pay them, you shouldn’t do it. Straight in the trash.

If you don't pay, you'll literally never be able to go to Skate City ever again.

I paid one for my father in law a few years back to make him feel better. I think it was $40. He was paranoid about it so it was worth it for peace of mind for him.

If you hit double digits they get a law firm in Ohio to send another threatening letter.

Got a speeding ticket from that stupid arse camera they have posted on Hwy 19. What would happen if I never pay it?

They are putting them up all over the place where I'm at. I got 3 tickets, 2 I was going 1 mph over their allowed limit, and 1 ticket was like 7 mins before the school zone started, and I was going the right speed limit. I looked into it and these cameras are owned by a 3rd party, but in my state it says that the fines can prevent you from getting your registration renewed.

I got a buddy who used to be a cop and he was acting like these cameras shouldn't be legal. He said that the officer calibrates the radar gun every day, and is supposed to verify the calibration for you if they pull you over for speeding. Not sure how this happens with a camera sitting there. But yeah I'm currently contesting them and it has been almost 2 weeks since I sent it in, so we'll see what happens. My plan is to not pay them. If you want to get me for speeding, let a human catch me. Don't be using some big brother shite to get people.

Nothing is going to happen to him.

Do you work for the camera company or something?

Canal St is the WORST!
Seems like those MFers are every 10 feet & they issue at 2mph over...

That's when I quit paying them in NOLA. Latoya will just have to fly coach from now on...

Are you saying there's no poor white people, or, all minorities are incapable of paying a fine?
