   Red light cam ticket? Could be a fake!

   Don't fall for fake red light camera or speeding tickets.   
      
   This started in California, but will spread rapidly.   
      
   The fake red light camera tickets come in the mail, from the police!   
   Yours will say "Traffic Violation Notice" at the top, and will tell you   
   that you MUST identify the driver shown in the photo, within ten days.   
   But these Notices are not a real ticket.  The police have not filed them   
   with the court (no court address on it), and in fact, somewhere on the   
   back it will say "Do not contact the court."  It's a con job to get you   
   to identify the driver.  I recommend that you ignore such a notice - do   
   not respond to it in any way.  The cities known to be doing this are El   
   Cajon, El Monte, Encinitas, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Maywood, Southgate,   
   and Vista, all of which are served by camera company Redflex.  But there   
   are probably more cities doing it.  For more information, see the Your   
   Ticket page on the free-of-any-charge website   
   http://www.highwayrobbery.net .   
      
   And now, the police-run con job has competition, from the private   
   sector.  It's now been reported that a guy in Southern California is   
   mailing "Traffic Violation Notices" for speeding, and telling you to   
   send him $280.   I am sure he got the idea by watching the police.   
      
   Be careful out there.
