Red light camera's... and why frogger54 is exempt.

I read about a year ago or two that starting June they can tow your car so that was one reason that I paid them , also if you end up at traffic court in Suffolk for any other type of ticket you can’t and they won’t make a deal with you to settle a ticket unless you pay off all your red light tickets first .
I've seen NYC traffic enforcement guys when walking around sometimes scan the reg sticker on cars (especially on Sundays and Holidays) and if not writing a ticket just walk to the next car. I assume they do this to see if there are anything outstanding against the car.
I know that NYC TE (and the LI Village guys too) write tickets for expired inspection stickers when they are walking around lots as I saw a guy sitting in his car in Flushing and when he asked why the TE guy was writing a ticket and the TE just pointed to the inspection sticker.
Personally, I don't understand why drivers (especially mongers) don't keep regs, inspec, up to date as you gotta do it eventually anyway and the cost of not doing it can be high.

In California you get it from front and a picture of the driver. I rented a car on business and ran the light, I got a notice from the city of Los Angeles that I could send in the payment or return to LA and appear in court. I got freaked out that my picture was one of the picture. I sent in the payment which I think was a ripe off of outer townor . So depending on state it could be either.
Maybe, maybe not... the counties have been shorting the Amber for decades, NYS allows the local Goverments to override the Traffic Engineers recommendations [aside from shorting ambers, they also lower the recommended speed limits] which by doing this increases the violation rates which equals more money in the government coffers. When the RLC's became "legal" the counties lowered amber light duration at many of these intersections which increases the number of violations and fines
Despite @frogger54 belief that red light tickets work not catch up to the registrant, eventually one is declared a scofflaw ( by NY DMV) —
This will prevent one from buying a car and transferring those plates.. ( The plate and registrant will get suspended) until fines are paid

Lol, look at me the modern day rebel
fellas, I took the advise of LE and someone extremely familiar with the consequences of not paying these fines.
Its been 6 (almost 7) years since my 1st Red Light Camera ticket. I haven’t paid a cent. No problems when re-registering my car, no hit on my credit score, No one put a boot on my tire, there’s been absolutely no recourse except for unwanted mail.
Can we please get back to topic at hand which is street meat?
