I got a ticket for turning red on a red light without complete stop by a traffic camera. The ticket is for $500!! I was turning right into a train station. (BART/Cal train).
I want to fight the ticket but I'm not sure where to begin. Should I find a traffic lawyer?How to fight ticket from traffic camera?
Only method that I have ever heard that worked; was a motion that the accuser be present in the courtroom, in this case the camera. But that is only as Pennsylvania has the right to have the accuser present in their state constitution.
Best off to get a lawyer, I think.
Tickets issues by camera's are civil fines, not traffic violations. They are often contracted out to private companies that operate the cameras, collect the fines and hand over a portion of the fines to the city or county. Try calling the phone number on the citation. You may be able to haggle over the fine amount.How to fight ticket from traffic camera?
my mom had to go to court last week and they ended up dismissing tons of tickets given by cameras while she sat and waited for her turn.
Dont get a lawyer. Go to contest your ticket on your own if you don't win pay up.
Lawyers aren't cheap.
take it to court, for $500, you WILL need a lawyer, and the cop WILL show up in court for $500, get a cheap lawyer that's goodHow to fight ticket from traffic camera?
You'll need a lawyer, but it will be pretty hard to beat if they have you on film making the illegal turn.
