Sometimes a traffic ticket will be mailed to a person instead of written by an officer. Depending on the county it can take a week or two for a person to get a traffic ticket in the mail.
about a month
In most jurisdictions, the officer turns over the ticket information to the traffic court. The traffic court will send out a notice, sometimes including a duplicate ticket.
Yes, You could get a traffic ticket for a red light violation in California. The evidence is collected by still shot and vidoe cameras.
No, this must be done through the mail, at the courthouse, or most likely, at the city hall which issued you the tickets.
You can get a traffic ticket for many different reasons. The main reason that people get traffic tickets is for speeding. They can be caught by either a police officer or a video camera. The camera option is relatively new. The cameras are equipped with radar guns that can measure the speed of a car; they can then take a picture of a car's license plate. The police force will mail a traffic ticket to the person who is on record as owning the car. They may not even know until they get the ticket that they have been caught. You can also get a traffic ticket for running a red light. Like the above issue with speeding, you can be caught either by a police officer or a camera. A camera on a red light will take a picture both of the license plate and the driver; the police for will then send you a picture of yourself running the light along with the ticket. This often keeps people from wanting to fight the tickets since they can see that they have been caught and have no hope of convincing a judge otherwise. To pay a traffic ticket, you either have to go to court and pay the money yourself or mail the amount due in to the court. The mail option is often used with parking tickets and other such violations. It is also used with speeding tickets. This saves the court a lot of time and energy on clear-cut cases where the person is obviously guilty and just has to turn over the money. An envelope to mail the money back to the courthouse will come with the ticket when it arrives in the mail, is posted on your vehicle, or is given to you by an officer. You can fight a traffic ticket if you want. In many cases, this is pointless. If there is video evidence that you have broken the law, you will not be able to overturn the ruling. However, police officers sometimes make mistakes. If you have been given a ticket for not wearing your seat belt when you really had it on, you can go in to the traffic court and tell the judge that you have been wrongly accused. The officer will have to come and present his or her side of the story as well, and then you can either leave or pay in person depending on what is decided.

A warrant can be issued if you fail to pay a traffic fine by mail or fail to appear on the Court date on the ticket to contest the charge. Pay the fine or go to Court. Do not do neither..
In order to contest a ticket, you must show up to court. You should receive, by mail, a notification of the date set for your case. By not appearing that day, you are saying you intend to pay the ticket without contesting it.
