It depends on what state you live in.  So they are going to send you a picture of your car running the red light, and the price for your ticket.  So send them a picture of the money you owe them.

You'd probably be better of the pay the ticket.  If you go to court you may have to pay court costs as well as the fine.

I would.  That's a ridiculous reason to ticket someone.  You have a chance of winning and if not, the worst that could happen is you get the exact fine that you have now.  You have nothing to lose but a few hours out of your day.

Dear Tony Cologne,\n When you say a red car appearing to move faster, do you mean to the human eye or to the device that the cops use. I think you may have some confusion that is evident in popular lore about the Doppler shift. \nHowever, you might have a point about the cops coming to a complete stop and then catching up again within a quarter mile. At 37 mph a quarter mile is 24 seconds. That means the whole time they are stopping it is adding to your lead as well as the whole time they are accelerating to catch up. Then once they surpass your velocity they have to exceed it enough to catch up within what is left of the 24 seconds they started with. Plus, nobody pulls over right away the instant the lights start flashing. If you had a savvy lawyer you might have a case, plus the judges know these cops usually embellish the truth. Who cares, its a traffic ticket, might as well fight it and have some fun. Its not like you'll get the death penalty if you lose.

Sorry you got caught, but I don't have much sympathy.  101 is congested nearly all day long and there is no excuse for going 80 or even 90.  You were lucky that your speed on the ticket was  decreased.  Next time, plan your schedule better to allow for more time for your journey - don't drive in such a hurry.\n\nAnyway, Santa Clara County's traffic court has a website you can check out your options.    You can handle some of the paperwork in the North or South County, or San Jose traffice courthouses.\n\nhttp://www.sccsuperiorcourt.org/traffic/\n\nIf your ticket permits traffic school (as noted on the courtesy notice) you can pay that fee and remove the violation from your record.  You can also take the traffic school online.\n\nhttp://www.scselfservice.org/traffic/pay/bailfortxt.htm\nhttp://www.scselfservice.org/traffic/oview/schooltxt.htm

your lucky you didnt wind up in JAIL!!!  You drivers license must have been clear because Im sure the officer that pulled you over ran your I.D. through everything he had at his disposal.  The way it sounds Im thinking the officer had a drunk driver on his hands for sure!!  all over the road is the fastest way to get pulled over that I know of.. it even works at the speed limit!! depending on what state you live in... expect a 300 to 500 dollar fine if you dont have insurance... and remind me NEVER to let you drive MY car!!!\n\nremember the next set of headlights comming at you the way you described here.. could be a drunk driver... \n\ncareful never hurt anyone..\nluck RUNS OUT!

There should be a contact number on the back of that ticket. Give it a call and they'll tell you how much. There should be a court date on the front of that ticket, that should be a due date. Call the police dept that isued the ticket and give them a call. They should be able to help

Between 30 and 40 mph.

First of all, the police most certainly can pull you over in your driveway if they choose to.  It's not like making it to your driveway suddenly invokes some kind of "King's X" on breaking the law.  Pulling him over in the driveway has absolutely no bearing on his guilt or innocence.\n\nSounds like the officer wrote the wrong posted speed limit  on the ticket, and later sent you an amendment to the ticket, indicating what he'd amended (the posted speed).  Don't see any kind of issue with that.\n\nIf the police were following him (which is what you said), they very likely didn't have a radar reading to show him...why use radar when you're following someone?  It's certainly possible, but I suspect radar wasn't the issue here.\n\nThe "they" charging him $800 isn't the police, it's the court.  Law enforcement does not set the fines for traffic offenses, the courts do.  This has nothing to do with whether or not he should have received the ticket, so I don't know why you're mentioning it. \n\nIf your brother does not agree with the officer's assessment that he was driving 60 miles an hour in a 40 mile an hour zone, then he should contest the ticket in court.  It will be the officer's job to prove your brother violated the speed limit and your brother can offer whatever defense he might be able to offer.  The judge makes up his mind based on what he/she hears.

Since the wavelength of green light is 530nm and  red light is 630nm (I'm generalizing),\nv = 0.17c = 0.17 × (3 × <10 to the 5th power> ) × (60 × 60) = 185 × <10 to the 6th power> kph.\nSo unless the fine is a percentage of one cent per mile per hour over the speed limit, it's gonna be steep.

Just keep telling yourself you're going to court over a TRAFFIC TICKET not rape, theft, burglary or worse...just a simple ticket. Kinda silly to get all worked up over that isn't it?? Everything will be fine...what's the worst that can happen?? You're gonna walk out alive and into the rest of your life owing a lil money and some points on your license..it's definitely not the end of the world. Good luck!!

I would hire a high-priced lawyer and fight the fine. If you are still found guilty, you should petition to have the fine reduced to the customary $43.21.\n\nOne defense you should bring up is whether you were simply "on" your catamaran as opposed to being "in" your catamaran. \n\nThe Penal code states clearly:\n\nIf your are in your catamaran while it is in excess of 101.7 MPH, you are subject to a $50 fine. If your are on your catamaran while it is in excess of 101.7 MPH, you are subject to a fine of $43.21.

If you go to court plead no contest.  That way you are not admitting guilt, but you are not contesting it either.  Unless you can absolutely prove you weren't going that fast chances are the ticket won't be reduced or withdrawn.  Plus you would still have court costs of top of the fine.

report him???  i see it all the time.  i've seen cops put their lights on and go through a red light then turn it off after they go through...i have seen them speed and go under the speed limit.  this can cause accidents too.  \n\nyou may want to write in the complaint without your return address and make sure to put down the cars #, exact location, crime, etc.

Out of experience I would suggest trying to get out of the ticket. I bought a guide to beating speeding tickets that actually worked for $30. The only reason I bought the guide is because it was 100% guaranteed. It ended up working and being a lot cheaper than paying the ticket and having my insurance rates go up. Here is the link to the guide http://9a7b5c3d1.noticket.hop.clickbank.net

Fines are generally low.  Court costs are generally high.  For instance, in Charlotte 1 to 5 mph over the speed limit is a $10 fine with $110 court costs added on.

Well i happen to be a traffic police officer. Depending on the city and state rules the ticket can very. I work for a pretty large city a 31 in a 25 residential area could cost you anywhere from 150 dollars to around 250. now this is just a piece of advice take this or leave it  if you never had any other ticket or took this course take defensive driving usually you pay the city or whoever issued the ticket around 50 to 90 bucks and pay like 25 for a defensive driving course it takes it off your record and lowers your auto insurance by 10 to 20 % ! Best of luck!
