I know some people in CR who, when they first turned the cameras on, didn’t pay any attention and kept speeding through the cameras. They were all surprised Pikachu when they got a series of tickets in the mail over several days …
Plus in CR you have to be going 12 over the limit (so 67) through the downtown S-curve to get a ticket. I don’t have any sympathy for those people.
They don’t count as moving violations, they don’t go on your driving record, they can’t be reported to insurance. But the company that runs the cameras can and will send them to collections, I think they can ding your credit rating, and the state can take the fines out of income tax refunds or other money you might have coming from state government.
This is just a revenue generator for small jurisdictions. Vote out the county supervisors who approve the government over-reach.
Contact an attorney ASAP. It’s your right to fight this as you should.
Don’t pay until your lawyer and the prosecutor discuss.

I've never had issues with CR myself. I do see how an 8 you're great person that doesn't know its there would. It drops speeds like a quarter mile before the camera. The small 5 mph drop would put said person at 13 over and give them a ticket. Again I've never gotten a ticket from it, I just hate how it was designed as an I-Got-Ya camera.
May not let you renew your license plates. Had to prove a parking ticket in DM was paid to renew once. And I don’t live in Polk County
I have seen The Ticket Clinic advertised on VinWiki YouTube channel. I have never used it, but if I attempt a Cannonball Run… some of the stories of getting speeding tickets dismissed are interesting.

They might send you a picture of handcuffs... but mean it.
I was riding home with someone this weekend who got nailed for 83 in 65. She was so steamed and whiny about it that I was disgusted. Seriously, don't be an entitled jerk if you were in fact doing the thing they called you on. It was sad really. Total Karen job and I had to sit there and witness, and take the ticket from the cop cause she wouldn't.
If you wanna go with, "I had no idea," and you're serious, maybe you can get them down to one. If that's bull and you knew the whole time, then...
Speed limits posted.
Goes through area well over the speed limit.
'Why did I get a ticket!??'
Its not just small jurisdictions, Chicago has speed cameras and red lights cameras all over. Last Spring they dropped the ticket line to 6mph over as getting a ticket. 6-10 mph over is $35. 10+mph over is $100. The first 2 months it went into effect 322,000+ people got a ticket for going 6-10 over. (I was one of them lol) That additional $11.3 million in those 2 months won’t even make a dent in funding their pension debt.
I'm impressed traffic was moving swiftly enough for that to be an issue
A lawyer over traffic tickets? Lol, cmon man, courts are already backed up as is.
They were smart and put the cameras on streets were traffic moves fairly quickly and doesn’t get backed up often. They are mainly on 4 lane roads with speed limits 30-35 mph, in outlying areas away from the cluster of downtown streets.
That is why you fight it. More than likely will be dropped.
It’s also our due process. Use it.
I can't really offer any advice on the tickets... but best wishes to you and your wife. I've been in a similar situation (wife w/ cancer) and know how much it sucks. She's got the hardest part, but caregivers deserve a huge amount of grace and support too.
