Well it looks like I didn't quite make it through the light in time. I'm curious if anyone knows about the Los Angeles/ West Hollywood Red Light Cameras? I received a ticket for this through the mail yesterday. $490.00, ouch.. Some of the cameras have been shut off in LA. But it looks like West Hollywood is still running their cameras. I've read numerous articles like:
R.I.P. Los Angeles Red-Light Camera Tickets: What This Means for the Rest of the County - Los Angeles - News - The Informer
stating:
If you are issued a red-light camera ticket in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City, Inglewood, Hawthorne or any other municipality within L.A. County, it will be processed by the L.A. Superior Court. And if you ignore that ticket cold-turkey -- no contact whatsoever -- the court will send you, or whoever is the registered owner of the vehicle, scary mail. If you continue not responding, you'll start getting even scarier collections letters from GC Services. But if you ignore those, your ticket will be tucked away in the court's internal files.
As far as Ellison knows, the violation will not show up on your credit report or DMV record. So your insurance company has no way of seeing it, either.
Any thoughts on this? Sounds sketchy
