"I lent my car to a hobo that day. No, I didn't ask his name but please try to locate him and give him this ticket."

that stuff doesn't do crap, it's a gimmick. I know a couple different people that tried it and then got tickets lol. There are license plate covers that block out part of the plate depending on the angle you look at it, but you can get in trouble for those if a cop sees it because it's "obstructing clear view of the plate"

ive heard they do this on the nj turnpike. they'll get you with the time and exit on the paper toll ticket you receive when entering the highway when you leave.

So just slow way down towards the end?

What about the license plate frames that have the flash detector that are suppose to flash high intensity LEDs to wash out the plate to a camera?

well at least in my case it was only 40 bucks and no points and not reported somehow to insurance so I don't guess I can complain at them making some money. I was speeding afterall so if it can't count on insurance or driving record I'm actually ok with this type of ticket. it's for over 10mph the speed limit. it was for 1mph over then yeah I'd have a problem but 10 over enough to seem ok.

Don't get me wrong, don't like it but in the scheme of things it could be a lot worse.

LOL :icon18:

Doesn't do anything against the video they use as back-up to the pic. They can just send you a screen cap of your plate.

don't pay!!! The camera is rented by the city from a company. Once flashed a cop reads it and issues the ticket. After that its never in the police hands again because they have no proof who was driving the car. They even ask on the ticket "were you driving?" They can't ticket someone with no proof. The plates with the car, not you. First one I got I didn't pay. They said it was $100. 30 days later I got a letter saying it was $150. 30 days later it said i was going to collections and/or other consequences etc. guess what?? The cameras are setup by a company that rents them, collects the money, and gives a portion to the city? The police have nothing to do with the funds. They can't send me to collections if they don't know who is behind the wheel and they don't know my Soc. from a plate. it's been over a year now. Zero issue with collections (no ****) and I've been to the DMV a million times. Research this stuff as I did and you will find out. It's just a city revenue source.

I also had a city parking ticket once. Never paid. 6.9 years later that city finds me and does the same thing. After a few emails with the guy from that city wanting the money I ended up telling him to go pound salt its been 7 years. Come a month later and pretty sure after 7 years with statute of limitations they couldn't and didn't do anything. Also had a million from college parking. Never paid, never one issue. Only thing I'd be worried about is parking officials like in Philly driving around waiting for plates to hit. Well I don't live in Philly, have no tickets like in a down town area like Philly, and I've been pulled over lots of times with nothing from the cop but have a nice day.

wow that's one way to get around it I guess...so far I've had 3 tickets, 2 when i was 18...been so long but i usually just up front and pay it .

I thanks the driving deity's/god's I live in Germany :) There are tickets/camera's here but there is no excuse for getting one with the option of the Autobahn - DAILY.

I'd caution this and add its possibly dependent on the state. In MA, ignore a ticket and the next time you attempt to register your vehicle or renew your license you get a wonderful reminder & application denial till the violation is settled. I know some states the fine is designated for the registered owner of the vehicle regardless who was the driver was at the time of the incident so saying that wasn't you on the traffic cam wont help.

Finally, dont know the truthfulness of this but a car salesman once told me in d.c or a MD county they used to mail you the traffic ticket with a picture of all the occupants in the car. They stopped because some violators were caught with "passengers" that shouldn't have been there so it was causing a lot of "spousal insecurities" i.e who is the woman in the car with you.

god I hate 95 lol.

if I can avoid it, I will do it! :tup::roflpuke2:

I must say, great photo!

Like I said research it. How do you know that will happen? They told me that would happen. Guess what? I've got new license, new plates, nothing happens. Now don't get confused with getting pulled over and a ticket vs your cars plates are seen and they try and give you a ticket. Big difference. A cop giving you a ticket and you not paying will result in a bench warrant for your arrest. You can't arrest someone if you own the car, your daughter was driving, she finds and throws away all the tickets that come in the mail. The owner didn't do anything wrong.
