Not even cops get out of red light tickets anymore. You can say it isn't you but all they do then is have you appear and look at you and the photo...if it is clearly you then your look like a dumbass for trying to say it isn't you and you pay.<br /><br />If in fact you can NOT tell if the photo is you then all you have to do is say it isn't you. They will then ask for who it is, their address and I think their driver lic. number. You do not have to provide this information. There is no law saying you have to. In most cases they will try and push you to give this info out but again you don't have to. <br /><br />Good luck but chances are you CAN tell its you and the cost I think is like $310 and if you go to traffic school you pay extra money on the ticket to allow you to go and then you pay for the traffic school itself. In the end you'll be looking at about $400. <br /><br />I recently got a redlight ticket for a right turn on red! I guess I rolled through it. Ticket even read 3mph TOTALLY FUCKIN LAME! But you don't see me running any red lights or right on reds and if the light turns yellow and your behind me you better watch out cause I'm slammin on the brakes.
