Photo Radar Speeding Ticket - Oregon

[3W MO7B]

Just take a photo of your $125 check, and send THAT in!

Fight photo with photo

[Adolf Allerbush]

Again, thanks for all the advice. My decision is to plead innocence. My explination (a.k.a. bull shit):

1) I work until 5PM (at least) each day and the photo ticket alleges that I was speeding at 4:45PM no where near my office. I have written proof of my companies office hours from the office manager to corraborate this.

2) I had some friends in town (true) from Canada (not true) all of which had access to my vehicle (not true but fuck it), therefor it is impossible for me to deterine who was driving the vehicle at the time indicated on the ticket. Additionally I do not believe that Oregon laws have reciprocity in Canada (could be wrong).

While I could just suck it up and pay the ticket this whole deal rubs me the wrong way. Was I driving so fast that it was dangerous? Negative. Did a police officer actually catch me in the act? Fuck no. I'll likely just be found guilty because it is my car, and end up paying the fine but at least the state will have to do more than take my picture to get the cash out of me. They'll have to actually file some addition paper work, draft some sort of response, possibly have me attend a court appearance, etc.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Incorrect, as far as I am aware. flykdog may have been drunk, but he was right when he said cars don't speed, people speed. They presume it was you driving if they can id the plate, but you don't have to show the car was stolen to get out of it. cj001f had it right, you can just rat someone else out.

However, fighting the ticket would put the OP in a difficult situation, even if the pic of the driver is too blurry to ID. Because to go to court to fight this, he'd probably have to a) lie and say it wasn't him, and b) say who it was (or come up with some other excuse for not knowing).

It sucks to get nailed for 9 over, but people are right, pay the ticket and move on (but within the limit this time ).

So, you'd be willing to spend hours of your own time fighting this even though you will almost certainly end up having to pay the fine?

That'll show 'em.

[Adolf Allerbush]

Not sure how long it takes you to write a letter but for me personally it took about 10 minutes. So yes, at the time I was willing to do that. If it comes down to it and I have to go to court I'll just pay the fine.

Sprinkle some pubes in with the letter. Sweet, sweet pubic retribution.

I've heard that one too, must be a urban legend.
