    Default Red Light Camera Ticket Not in My Name

    My question involves a red light camera ticket from the state of: California.

    I bought a car and I drove it before I register it in mh name or get my license in CA. I got a red light camera ticket then 2 months later I found the first owner of the car contacting me about the ticket and asking me to take care of it. Theres nothing under my license and the ticket has been issued in his name and on his license.

    He contested it and filled out that affidavit of non liability form but they sent it back to him because he doesnt have my license number or my date of birth.

    Now Im not sure what to do if he reissued it in my name i could be in more of a trouble because i didnt have my registeration or my license back then. Or whats the best outcome out of this for both of us?

    Thank you

    And if he went to court is it possible that he could get it dismissed since the pic isn't clear and isnt showing who's the driver?

    Is it possible that they can reissue the ticket even if he doesnt have my license number and date of birth? He has my name and address and phone number

    Any advice ? I really dont know what to do

    If you choose to break the law by not registering your vehicle, and driving it without lawful registration, then yes -- you can get in trouble for that.

    If you want to avoid answering questions in court about a red light ticket, you can avoid that by simply paying the fine.

    Ohhh, you're that guy! That happened to my wife and I repeatedly after we donated a car to the VOA. We filed the paperwork saying that the car was donated, they did all of the things they were supposed to but the auction house didn't. In the end we had to deal with this for the better part of a year, until the tabs expired. All because someone like you. Many affidavits on non responsibility and arguments with the DOL/DMV and lots of red light tickets and speeding in school zone tickets.

    Yes, you could be in trouble. I presume that the proof of sale was registered with the state by the seller. At that time the car should've been registered by you as the buyer. It will come up eventually, I'm happy to say.

    Thanks guys

    The car was already registered 2 weeks after i bought it and the ticket incident happened after 12 days after the purchase date.

    I was hoping if theres anyway we both can get out of it but it seems like I will just pay it if they put it under my license

    If they eventually issue a ticket in your name, and it is from a city inside LA County, you can ignore it. If you are skeptical about my advice - and you should be - do a search on red light camera no consequence, and read...

    Important note: My advice above applies only to red light camera tickets, and only to those inside LA County (handled by
    the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles). You should not ignore a ticket where the officer has pulled you over, and you should not ignore a red light camera ticket from outside LA County.
