Don't respond to fake tickets from police con men
Don't fall for fake red light camera or speeding tickets, mostly in
California, so far. The fake red light camera tickets come in the mail, from the police! Yours will say "Traffic Violation Notice" at the top, and will tell you that you MUST identify the driver shown in the photo, within ten days. But these Notices are not a real ticket. The police have not filed them with the court (no court address on it), and in fact, somewhere on the back it will say "Do not contact the court." It's a con job to get you to identify the driver. I recommend that you ignore such a notice - do not respond to it in any way. For more information, see the Your Ticket page on the free-of-any-charge website http://www.highwayrobbery.net. And now, the police-run con job has competition, from the private sector. It's now been reported that a guy in Southern California is mailing "Traffic Violation Notices" for speeding, and telling you to send him $278. I am sure he got the idea by watching the police. Be careful out there. |

What is on this website may be applicable to California but only there. In Oregon, for example, the State Legislature mandates that any city, county or other traffic jurisdiction that hands out photo tickets must explain to the person they are mailing the ticket to that if they aren't the driver they are not required to identify the actual driver. They also mandate that if the actual driver is identified by the accused that the traffic jurisdiction is not allowed to prosecute based on that, and they require photo tickets to be mailed with a certificate of innocence that the person can fill out and send back, if this is filled out and signed by the accused, the ticket is invalidated, end of story. What we ended up doing with our vehicles is I titled the car that I normally drive with my wife's name, and titled the car that she normally drives with my name. As a result if we get caught in photo radar (which has happened to us a couple times) they always ticket the wrong driver, thus we always get out of the tickets. Ted |
