Houston's had plenty of problems with them. Actually, I don't think anyone is required to pay the tickets as they are sent out by a third party. So I've heard anyway. I got one and just said someone else was driving my car. They just dismissed it.

Here are some articles, but research a bit more about your state.

I can tell you that in Missouri, I beat one of these tickets. I was told at the time by the Judge AND Prosecutor that I was one of the only one's they had come in and beat one. EVER.

How did I do the impossible? It wasn't even my car. That is what it took. I'd sold the car over 2 months before and had all the paperwork to prove it. Originally coming from California, where license plates go with the car and stay with the car, I didn't realize the real harm that can come here by not taking my plate off the car. I left it to the relative to dispose of plates and they didn't.

With all that though..and the fact the car was documented as being someone else's with the State..all proper like..I STILL almost lost the case.

I'd say pay your $100 or represent yourself if you want the thrill of a day in traffic court. If it doesn't carry points on your license though? I'd never pay an attorney to get into a proper fight over it. Not against those odds.

If it says you don't have to pay, why would you?

The fine doubles if you don't. Then they sell it to a collection agency and it goes on your credit report. At this stage in my life I don't want to make a social statement and further damage my financial history.

Apparently, not many motorists are happy with red-light cameras -- the law-enforcement products that snap a photo of you and your license plate if you are caught in an intersection when the light turns red. Many feel the devices are more about raising municipal profits than they are about making the roads better. With those disgruntled drivers as possible customers, two items have been separately designed to bust the photo-busters at their own game. One is presently accessible. The other seeks additional seed cash. If you want to read the article, you can get it here: New car to buy

Damn this debate has been ragin in the UK for over a decade or more concerning speed cameras.

It seems pretty inconclusive whether they've had a dramatic effect on road accidents by themselves or the accumalitive effect of multiple strategies and the already downward trend.

Siteing them in heavy traffic to pedestrian areas or outside schools very few would argue with but quiet,straight and safe roads where the speed limit just gone from 30 to 40 is blatantly there to catch people out dozing,a its a revenue stream which just gets on peoples nerves.

It's mobile vans and units that sit with cameras trying to catch you at 70mph as the road goes from dual carriageway to normal A road.Again it appears to be revenue driven mostly.

If you are unlucky it's the number plate that identifies you so the citation is posted to the vehicle owners.Of course if you can talk someone into owning up as the driver then you can sidestep it but....

I've heard of fancy plates that reflect the radar,that supposedly show up blank on film etc,etc but they don't work,nor does a loosened rattly plate.

What can would be conveniently caking part of the plate in mud or dirt but they see you,they pull you.lol.

Oddly we have cameras on our traffic lights to aid traffic control but have never heard of them taking stijls or used against light jumpers.

if they did my licence would be toast cos i'm bad for sneaking thru in the tail though the lights just gone red.

If a cop car saw me then it'd be 3 points and a fine - 60 quid.lol
