Hi all,
Just got a friendly letter from some company in Arizona "acting on behalf of the City of Loma Linda" with some truly horrible quality black and white photos of my girlfriend "running a red light" in my beater Honda Civic at an intersection.
The form asks if I'm the one in the photo. If you check "no", then you "must" give the name, address, driver's license, phone number, etc. of the driver. Am I legally required to rat out my girlfriend? I did no crime, don't they need a formal summons to testify? I feel like just checking the "no" box and *forgetting* to fill out the rest.
Will they really pursue this? Any advice for beating this thing? Ticket is over $300.
I have fantasies of taking a friends pickup truck, taking the plates off, putting a ski mask on, have them drive with me in the bed at 3AM and spraying Wurth's undercoating over the lenses of those cameras (they're only ~15 feet high). They have them at EVERY major intersection in our town and they drive me NUTS!!! Everybody slams on their brakes and almost causes collisions as soon as they see a yellow light, and I swear they shortened the yellows when they installed those cameras. BIG BROTHER at his worst!
Would never do this, but it feels better to share it.
