Yes, they are. The cities that install them do not do this without considering the legal possibilities. They usually include a picture of the front and back of the car, and often the driver is visible. Do not speed if you do not want a ticket.

The prior answer is not entirely true. You must look into what constitutes legal service in your state. For example, in Arizona, a ticket issued only by mail does not constitute liable legal service, and according to state statute rule 4i, such a thing is dismissed after 120 days.

Yes it is legal to ISSUE the ticket, but as far as the legal liability involved, that is questionable depending on location.

What is a photo ticket?

A photo ticket is a traffic citation that you get in the mail that was issued by a company on behalf of a municipality in most cases. The ticket comes from a device that catches motorists speeding or running red lights. The device takes a picture and records the date and time and location. The company then looks up the license plate number and sends a copy of the ticket with the photo to the registered owner of the vehicle,


Is it possible with photo radar tickets to dispute the ticket in court pay the ticket but avoid license points?

Nearly impossible. Radar, contrary to the commercials and ads you might see, is so sophisticated that it's extremely difficult to refute, especially if photos are involved. What you can do is elect to attend traffic school (you can rent a DVD at Blockbuster in most states and do it that way). That way, you'll pay a reduced fine and avoid points on your license. And slow down - get there safely.


How do you fight out of state photo radar tickets?

Depends on the state laws... and if you have time to return to the state to appear in court to fight it. In Ohio, a trffic citiation MUST be handed to you by a uniformed officer. There are many cities in Ohio in violation of this law.

Photo tickets increase auto insurance?

Photo tickets are considered a moving violation. Moving violations will increase your auto insurance premiums if you are found guilty.

Going to traffic school or fighting the ticket are the only two ways to prevent an increase in your insurance rates.

Should a out of state photo red light ticket be paid or not?

Maybe. Some states assess "points" from the offending driver's license, which will increase the incentive to fight the ticket. There are great defenses to ticket camera red light tickets, including the lack of proper engineering. For more info on these defenses (and a traffic attorney listing), I suggest www.motorists.org (The National Motorists Association). A great deal of the info on the website is free, including the attorney referral. P.S. To increase your morale, I will add that I have successfully defended a photo speeding ticket--defense of camera tickets is possible!
