You're a technician so you probably think you know it all, but don't fall for fake red light camera tickets, a.k.a "Snitch Tickets" or "Nominations."
The fake tickets come in the mail, from the POLICE!
Your fake or Snitch Ticket will look a lot like a real photo enforcement ticket. But they are not a real ticket. The police have not filed them with the court, so you won't find the Superior Court name and address on it.
You won't find the usual order saying, "You must respond to the court on or before (date)," and in fact, the Snitch Ticket will even say (in small print, on the back), "Do not contact the court."
Some of the cities doing it: Bakersfield, El Cajon, El Monte, Emeryville, Encinitas, Escondido, Fairfield,Garden Grove, Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Laguna Woods, Loma Linda, Los Alamitos, Marysville Maywood, Millbrae, Modesto, Oceanside, Paramount, Poway, San Jose, San Leandro, San Mateo, Santa Ana, Santa Clarita, Solana Beach, South Gate, Stockton, Union City, Upland, Vista, and other towns. As far as I know, it is only happening in California.
It's a phishing expedition, to get you to snitch on the driver - which could even be yourself! I recommend that you ignore such a notice - do not respond to it in any way. For more information, see the Your Ticket page on the free-of-any-charge website
