re: Speeding camera bill- a Floridian needs help

For your friend that got the ticket in the school zone, did it say in a school zone specifically on the ticket? I only remember driving by "photo enforced school zone" signs but school was out while we were visiting and I've been wondering if that's the case for me.
There were 3 photos of the car and two of them had the school zone sign with speed in them. Ticket said speed limit was 20 on Canal St. 20 is not the speed limit in that area when school is not in session. I already knew New Orleans had problems with school zone lights being activated when school was not in session and it was clearly not in session.

I can't explain to you how bad these photos are of my car. You couldn't make out a detail more than the plate and back of the car, the side and all surroundings are a bright blur. I guess mine wasn't school zone since it didn't specify though.

Well, the speed limit would be 20 if you were in a school zone, so there's that.
I would have chunked the ticket if New Orleans didn't boot cars. The driver was my 15 year old niece and I certainly wasn't giving her name. She was not otherwise speeding and I was in the car. I just argued it as if I was driving and I did that via email. Got a prompt response dismissing it.

Thank you.
I lived through exactly this hell. They told FL they were installing red light cameras for our safety, sure. Find out later they also shortened the length of yellow lights too and that's part of the reason they're not around anymore. But they encountered the same issue I am in now, they didn't set the cameras to take a picture of the driver and plate, they only cared about the plate because that's where the money was.
I'm an uber driver and I can't imagine driving and constantly worrying about if a mobile unit is around and missing a sign, if I can do anything to end this garbage I want to because its ridiculous.

That's all fine and good, but the car isn't in your name. I don't know if New Orleans is reporting unpaid tickets to credit bureaus, but that's easy enough to get removed, anyway. The boot, however, is not.
The person who owns the car needs to be the one making the decisions on this and if that person wants you to pay the ticket and get this overwith, you should do so. You probably can't contest it because right now, it's not in your name. The owner would have to turn you in, probably, to give you the right to fight it. You should look into that if you plan to fight it and find out.

No you aren't. If you were, you'd just mail the check. Given that it was a friend's car, I'd suggest that you are at least inconsiderate, and at worst, an a-hole for leaving the possibility open for them to have to deal with this.

Okay mine was 35 so definitely not then. You're a cool uncle though.
I might have the car owner just say it was me so whatever happens (which doesn't sound like anything) would affect only me. I'm glad to hear there's an email option.
Like I said earlier I'm paying for the car and obviously in contact with the person that has their name on the car. Whatever I do is with their agreement, but they have similar feelings about automated tickets.

If we end up deciding ignoring the matter isn't what we want to do, I'm going to fight it. I'd rather pay more for a lawyer than give a handout and that way the uncertainty would be lifted from the car owner.
Lol, no you wont.

I've been living in Texas with a suspended LA drivers license since 2013...I wouldn't worry.

Exactly what opinions did I miss that weren't insulting?
You guys realize the person that has their name on the car received and opened the letter, I'm not pulling any sneaky bs.
I'm a college student and made an account on this page because I thought a similar crowd of people that I interact with pages like this at FSU would help me out. I literally have not had any interactions from anyone from LSU EVER and majority of people that responded to this made me really glad I haven't. To those that genuinely responded I really appreciate it.

Lol anyone can miss a speed change sign you don't have to be an ahole, try driving around as much as uber drivers do (especially in NO) and tell me you wouldn't worry about it.

I'm down to fight.

Tell your friend to go work 2 shifts as a pizza delivery and make $110 and be done with it.
Also tell him to stay in Florida.

My point isn't that you shouldn't possibly get a ticket. A cop should pull you over and give you a ticket.
But driving around for 5-10 hours a day (yes that's what the drivers I ubered with in NO told me they worked) and constantly worrying about if I am even going 1mph (yes only 1mph and the cameras can tag you for a $75 ticket) past a mobile unit is insane.
