Here's a link to how much the fine will be in theory. Not sure if they will add any "administrative fees" or anything else.

The criminals are all busy getting elected to public office.

I got a camera ticket in DC, they sent it to Iowa (address on registration) so by the time I got it, they had doubled the fine due to delay in payment.

asshats.

if your ticket is $75, send them $76. The state is forced to send you a refund check of $1 and most people that process this stuff is lazy and will more than likely toss out your ticket and mark it as "paid."

OR

if you have a 2nd vehicle, go to the DMV and do a "plate transfer," (swap plates with your beater) They'll send the ticket to where the car is registered at, but if the plate + VIN do not match up on the computer, your speeding ticket is tossed out.

I don't get how people are okay with speed cameras. It is literally out and out theft.

MD/DC = legal radars. Get a radar and avoid getting caught by something as simple as speed traps? I was going 95S from Bmore one night and my radar went off once for a little speed display and then a second time shortly after. I slowed down and coasted through that stretch. 2 smart-*** sedans blew by and I saw 2 pretty flashes right behind them

Ill try sending 1$ more, but honestly I was in the Wrong, but I would never let a cop catch me. I was more or less aggravated by the horrible traffic in DC on sat night and just wanted to get the **** out of there. My car is PA plate so they will already have fun with that.

If needed, just hire clay to go to court for you. I bet if he ask the judge to drop the charge or else he'll get raped, will be more then enough to make him drop the ticket.
