“and later we found for a few dollars we could have had a professional service (YES! Someone is making money at getting victims of these cameras out of paying these outrageous fines, and doing it inexpensively) get us off the hook with some manuevering of law we aren’t aware of.”
I realize it doesn’t help you with the fine you paid, but for the benefit of others, could you point the way to such services for those of us who might need to know, someday?
I wish I could, but only heard about it in passing from an acquaintence in conversation one day, and a friend of mine was present at the time nodded in agreement saying his Grandkid had such experience, so I have to believe them. I didn’t need the information at that point, so didn’t bother to get it. We’d already paid the fine a couple of years prior.
The whole thing really ticked me off as I am one of those that stops no matter what before making a right turn as when I was a kid just having recently acquired a license the only ticket I got was for that. I rolled through a stop sign, almost stopped, but not quite while making a right turn, and got nailed. I’ve never “rolled” through a stop, a stoplight, since. That was about fifty years ago.
