that if you don't respond to the citation sent to your house, you're not obligated to pay it because there's no proof that it has been received? I heard this from someone who claims that their friend who is a Sheriff told them this.

Nandina, I just asked a question, there's no need for you to assume. I did not run a red light nor have I had a traffic violation in the past 4 years. So just answer my question without the assumptions.

No, the friend is just making wise comment. What's the point of expensive camera system if you don't have to pay the fine? That is non sense. If that scheme works I can tell my credit card company 'where's the proof you sent me the bills?'
It doesn't make sense that you can claim there is no proof they've sent you the citation. Even if you claim that they'll come back with their own proof that they did send you the citation.
Don't try that.

I have never gotten a red light ticket in the mail.
I am also sure if you do not pay it, you will be sent a summons. When you ignore the summons, a bench warrant will be issued for your arrest. When your license plate is run by the cop behind you, you will be pulled over, cuffed, taken to the judge. You will then pay the fine, the late fees, the tow on you vehicle, the salary for the time the police were with you (hope it is one cop not ten), and the processing fees.
Give your theory a shot and let us know the dollar amount you paid for a $50.00 ticket. I am sure there will be commas in the fine(s).

A person could tell the judge any Bravo Sierra they thought might work.
I like Jay's experiment. Nandina is right about the registration too.
Pissing off a Judge is even less smart than "Tugging on Supermans cape"

There may be a difficulty in registering the vehicle the next time around because there will be outstanding fines against it.
What's the problem with taking responsibility for your actions and just paying the fine for the violation that you are guilty of?

Try that crap and when you do get stopped you are likely to get brought into jail for outstanding warrants, rather than being given a ticket and sent on your way.

No, for it goes against your DMV record, so when it comes time to get a license renewal, this citation pops up

I'm sure if you don't pay it someone will think you didn't get it and then give it to you in person which might not be a good idea it would be best to pay it first....

I'd pay it. They can't prove who was driving too. But you don't need the hastle if you were ever stopped for something else.
