Assuming you were speeding.
Pay it or contest as ticket probably indicates procedure.
Paper says 75 in a 65 .... but I wasn't driving. And no picture of who was driving.
How thoughtful of them. All I know is that ignoring the donation makes it a LOT worse.
How many people have access to your car? I'm guessing you have the list narrowed down.
Good god, not another one of these threads. It's not like these things have a hair trigger and are catching people for doing two over.

Doesn't matter for the purposes of speed cameras. This is also why they don't count against your driving record. Instead of it being a traffic infraction (where it would have to be shown you're the driver) it is simply a civil violation against your vehicle, (kind of like a parking ticket), holding the owner responsible for the vehicle going that speed through that area.
Yeah, nailed me last year on way to airport. Am told they can prevent registration renewal if you don't pay, but it doesn't go on driving record. Its a civil matter (LOL) generates millions for them, so I donated 100 to them. Interesting that you send your money to Prairie City Police, Chattanooga, Tennessee. LOL
Plane was late departing anyway.

Without going into a rant, **** them right in the *** and **** anyone who supports these cameras right in the *** with a fist the size of Montana.
Guess it would depend on reciprocal agreements between states, but they will try to stop you from registering vehicle. The company they deal with is national and they take a cut so they will know if your state will comply and whether to pursue your car.
Most municipalities and Police Departments deal with a 3rd party that installs and maintains the equipment and then typically handles billing and collections in exchange for a %. I'm pretty sure I read (about 5 years ago) that the City of Cedar Rapids uses a company out of Arizona that gets 25% of revenue. The City of CR still raked in between $7M-$8M. Not to bad considereing all they need is a mailbox to pick up the checks.Yeah, nailed me last year on way to airport.

The speed cameras by (not in) Prairie City are ********. They are set up on 163 which completely bypasses the city. Wouldn't have a problem if they were set up in a business or residential area in Prairie City instead of in rural farmland.
If someone stole your car that is probably the more pressing issue.
