Who thought up of this scam for money - they should be SHOT, after we peel their skin away with a rusty scalpel and pour salt & vinegar over their wounds

On the neat side - they got a nice picture of my Toyota with my Kerry/Edwards & DU bumperstickers :crazy: I think whoever was working the cameras that day was a republican

3. go to court

You have the right to face your accuser. The best they have been able to come up with so far is someone from the camera manufacturing company, or so I've been told. you have a good chance of beating it.

12. hmmm
the guy I know has a different name than the guy in the snopes story. He could have just been jerking my chain about doing that, he's always spinning some kind of tale.

7. You can beat those camera red light tickets
(too late for you, I know), but there is a paint that you can spray over your license plate, that makes it "invisible" to the cameras. It just kind of glows in the photo and the plate number is unreadable.

30. A bit off-topic, but
I have also read (in Car & Driver) that if you spray Aqua-net on your license plate, it can't be hit by the radar gun (cops target the plate for their reading). Don't know if it works for lidar...

29. I never got one of those - how do they know it was you? or does it
make any difference? I mean shouldn't it matter if it were you or your husband? What loophole do they go through to make sure the owner was the driver at the time of the CRIME. And, BTW, I think it should be the Big House for you, Missy! :P

Where were you BTW - I want to make sure I'm extra careful at that intersection!

21. Xmas card!
I got busted and sent the picture as my holiday card with the message, "Drive Safely This Season!"

They got me in the middle of a yawn, too.

22. Was it for running a red light?
If so, go back with a witness to the intersection and time the yellow lights...check with the city's engineer. If the light is yellow less than 4 seconds or the timing of the yellow lights is not consistent, you can argue that you did not have time to react.

32. In big capital letters:
THIS VIOLOTION WILL NOT ADD POINTS TO YOUR LICENSE OR CAUSE AN INCREASE IN YOUR INSURANCE.

Almost cheaper just to give them the $75 dollars
