Got one yesterday for running the red light on Sherwood and North Harrell's back in October. Reading online that they are not enforceable and to toss the letter. Anybody have any experience with these letters?

No, because speeding and running lights is trashy.

Pay the fine, move on.

My wife has a nice collection of those dating back about 18 months. Not a one has been paid.

In BR don't pay them. They don't do anything about it.

They will hound you to kingdom come. Just pay it.

I'll put up with tossing a letter in the trash every few months for hundreds of dollars

I don't even open it.

Every few months? They were sending me 3-4 threatening letters a week.

Getting one more piece of junk mail to put in File 13 is “hounding you to kingdom come”?

I've never gotten a red light ticket but my wife has gotten 4-5 of them. Some of them go back 5+ years. She gets a letter in the mail about once every month or two.

That’s my experience. Only I get a notice about once every 3-4 months at most.

Don't pay them if you don't plan on parking on a public street. If you do and one of their scanner trucks passes you, they can boot you and tow you. I have about 20 in New Orleans and Baton Rouge combined dating back a couple of years but always use private or off street parking. They won't do shite because they can't do shite.

They are not uploaded to MobilCop or AARMS or any other system that jackboots use that I know of so they do not appear on record if stopped.

I’ll never pay one of them. They’re unenforceable. Think about it like a tax you don’t have to pay. Screw the government.

The don't boot cars in BR. That's only in Nola. They don't do anything but send you the occasional letter.

Unless you get pulled over by law enforcement and they physically give you a ticket, DO NOT PAY! Ever.
