I have Red light camera ticket question.

We just recently voted to do away with the red light cameras!

At least you got to vote them out. We here in Jefferson Parish never had a say in whether or not they were they should go up in the first place. Now they are in shut down mode because of financial links between Redflex, lobbyists, and elected officals. All of the fine money is still stuck in escrow due to various pending lawsuits against the system and the limited ability to fight them in court.

And the irony is that Redflex has threatend to sue the parish to get them turned back on because they want their money.

I got one at the first light off the causeway bridge going south. I was over the painted white line when the light went red but I had not reached the intersection of the crossing street (this line was shown in the photo only!). I called about it but had no recourse. I was also a little over the speed limit but they did not add speeding to the ticket.

I'm assuming you're referring to Causeway and 17th Street. As far as I know, Jefferson Parish's cameras don't have speed detectors.

And for the original OP, I assume you were in Orleans Parish because their system is still running and has the speed cameras too. And I doubt you'll be able to win any fight in court and it will cost you more if you lose. You're probably better off paying the fine unless you have a real good reason (like you were on the way to the hospital) and you can absolutely prove it.
