I got a camera ticket (Emerson Ga) that I have considered just seeing what will happen if I dont pay it. Same as you, I was driving my wife's vehicle and I was going 46 in a 35 at 1:30 pm. The ticket is written to her, but she was at work at the time. Apparently it was school zone with no school zone lights flashing so the speed limit dropped to 35 instead of being the normal 45.It's not that simple. Sometimes we ALL get distracted and don't realize we're speeding. Especially when the posted speed varies wildly on the surface roads. I was never intending to speed on surface roads . And it wasn't because I was running late because I NEVER run late. But if you don't pay real close attention you can and will miss the posted signs of there are any.
Now if there was a cop car posted up on the median or on the roadside then instinct would make you check your speed immediately and act accordingly. But some sneaky ass silver box on a pole ain't telling me or anyone ****. On top of that if you had a real live city cop or deputy to ( NOT GSP since they're uncaring robot assholes.) You would have at least some chance of getting a warning or even an informal " Y'all slow it down now." As I have gotten before. This camera **** is all a cash grab. It's designed for the city or county make as much revenue as possible with the least amount of man hours and payroll. SHOULD be illegal just like private prisons and DUI schools should be illegal. I believe it's a very slippery slope to put a for profit company in charge of enforcing laws or punishment of the citizens.
Will they really revoke our registration if I dont pay it? I have until the end of the month to pay it and it is killing me to eat my pride and pay this stupid ticket for going 46 mph
