WTF pasco county - red light ticket

My Mom got a ticket for a running a redlight (caught on redlight camera) about a month or so ago. She is listed first on the registration on my car - She wasn't driving, Chris was. 

She sent in the form stating that she wasn't driving and provided all of Chris' information - This is fine, this is what we wanted her to do. It's not a moving violation, and no points, but she didn't want it on her record. No problem, she shouldn't have to have it on her record.

So New port richey sends us a certified letter last week. Chris picked it up from the post office today and the amount of the fine went from $158 on the notice my mom got to $262 ..

WTF. No explanation. Just that the ticket has to be paid by Nov 4.. I don't understand how it went up $114. I will call tomorrow but I'm annoyed right now.

Re: WTF pasco county - red light ticket

  • Weird.  In Hillsborough I'm pretty sure it is a standard $150.  I can't remember exactly but we definately paid one for Dear H.  I don't think your mom really needed to tell them that Chris was driving,  but I understand how moms can be.  My mom would FLIP if she got a ticket like that and I was the driver.  $262 is a bit ridic for a red light camera ticket.  I hope you get it figured out.

  • I'd be pissed.  I agreed $262 for a red-light violations seems obscene.  Good luck tomorrow, hope you can get it sorted out.

    Yeah, she really didn't want the ticket on her record. She wasn't mean or anything about it.

    I think there is a late fee, but we literally just got the notice on Friday to pick up the letter at the post office. I'm going to call tomorrow - if they don't reduce it back to the 158, chris says we are going to court.

    great.

  • i'd take it to court.  those all just got thrown out here! 
  • We don't mind paying the original fine - we ran the red light, we deserve the ticket. My biggest problem is the late fee (if that's what the additional 114) is. 

    I don't believe in trying to get out of something I'm guilty of, but we had to do the affidavit so I don't think we should be be responsible for the extra fee. . We'll see.

  • These red light cameras are spreading like wild fire, mostly on major intersections. I feel like I have something to do with this lol, back in college I did a presentation for my public speaking class its a persuasive speech on why we should have red light cameras lol.

    I think the red light cameras are a good idea, and like I said, we don't mind paying the ticket..the original ticket, not the 262.

    Chris will be calling them today - I will end up yelling at someone. I'm not polite.

    Take it to court for the late fee absolutely.  But it's very unlikely the ticket will get thrown out.  Sting, I say this fully knowing you aren't trying to get the ticket thrown out entirely, just the late fee.  You're a good girl :)  My DH on the other hand, gets out of speeding tickets every time.   He has gone to court and "thrown himself at the mercy of the judge" and gotten it dropped.   He also has a lawyers office he has gone to.  He gave the receptionist his ticket and $150.  We got a call a couple months later from the lawyers office stating that the ticket has been dropped and all fines and punishments are complete.  However, we didn't bother with that for the red light camera ticket.  He did some research and found that it is an extremely low percentage of those that actually get dropped.  And he clearly ran the light.  We paid the ticket.  At least it doesn't affect insurance rates.   And at least he finally retired the sports car and got a truck that he drives like a grandma in, lol.  Good luck today, hopefully y'all get it resolved over the phone and don't have to go in.

  • I do not believe that it will actually go on your driving record. H ran a red light one night because it was wet and it wouldn't have been smart to try to stop, they caught him on the camera and sent him a ticket. We called and they did not care (there was no court date or anything to fight it), so we refused to pay it. They sent us a letter stating that they would put it on our credit report (which it never was). That camera was actually taken down 2 months after it happened because of the law that they passed, where it wasn't legal before a certain date. If we had paid it, they would have had to reimburse us.
