I agree Teel@Teel McClanahan III
I am a grand mother and wish the kids could stop dying in traffic collisions.
But I also wish they would govern their ticket issuence better. They are sending tickets to the wrong people, and if they even remotely look like the person in the pic, they are found guilty of something they did not even do.
I do believe it just for revenue, the state is in a bind and they don’t care who they get to pay the bill…It is sad, and I have totally lost my respect for our judicial system…

I just spoke with the person who was found falsely guilty and he said that after researching the appeal process, he has desided to cut his losses and just pay that other guys ticket. I argued that it would be points against his insurance, but he says you can’t fight them once their pride is up. This really sucks!!!

They must be really on a power trip. I went today as a witness, the person who got the ticket was not the person in the picture. Yet they looked so much alike the judge found him guilty even though I stated the correction and the real persons first name (I did not know his last name) So I guess the state is on a power trip and is very money hungry, so as to make someone pay for someone elses ticket. What has happened to our Judicial system? I did have respect for it…but not now that I have seen it in action.

I got nailed for red light running, in a double left land turning left on the yellow arrow. The light had turned red for .62 seconds (half a second) when I got flashed, speed 21 in a 40. The guy turning left in front of me had hit the brakes twice during his approach to the turn, and I almost hit him – now I know why, he probably got a ticket there!

There is nothing unsafe about what I was doing, and there is no way to respond to the red in less than a second. They want us to stop on the yellow, not proceed with caution. The officer I spoke with acknowledged that rear end collisions have gone up but lawmakers are fine with that. He also said that yellow lights last from 3 to 5 seconds depending on what intersection and time of day, so there is no way to know how long you have to proceed through a yellow light, and there is no grace period before the photo radar is engaged.

Furthermore, if you fight this ticket and lose, you must pay the fine AND go to punitive driving school, pay court costs as well as get points on driving record. As I understand it the judge hears these all day long and usually won’t even listen to a rational argument so don’t bother.

Our right are slowly being withdrawn and this just one more thing our elected officials are doing to harness the taxpayer – and this ticket is just an extra tax.

I will be visiting with the mayor of Peoria AZ (Bob Barrett) and my counsilwoman Joan Evans to discuss this situation but other than that if anyone knows of a class action lawsuit I would love to participate, or another blog or some sort of protest or DO SOMETHING TO GET THIS CHANGED to be more fair and safe. Sorry, I don’t agree with the officer, it is NOT preferable that rear end collisions go up so that people stop ‘running red’.

One more thing: if they really want to make intersections more safe they could instill a one second delay during the change of the lights. but that won’t increase revenue and pay for the cameras, it will just solve the problem….

Write the ticket issuer and tell them you were not driving the vehicle in question.

I will tell you the name & address of the person who WAS driving your car. ME. I live outside of the U.S. The ticket issuer will send me threatening letters as long as their letters are not returned, but they will be unable to do more.

I’ve done this successfully.

Send me an email if you need my help.

Sad to say that I have RedFlex HQ here in my own state. It’s time we come together and start forming petitions against this so we can present the population’s opinion at a federal level to our representatives in a somewhat diplomatic manner in order to be taken seriously.
