[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Maryland and I always pay camera tickets. Am I a fool? Should I just not pay them? I don’t get them often. [/quote]

Your only risk -- and it's a minuscule risk -- is if they catch your car parked on a city street (DC cannot ticket on private property, including parking garages). Then they can call the tow truck, but even then it probably will take hours until one is available. Otherwise you can safely throw those tickets in the trash (not paying them will not ding your credit, because the credit agencies no longer consider debt that arises from parking tickets). [/quote]

And now the DC attorney general can file suit against the owners of cars with unpaid tickets and put a lien on the car. The odds are against this happening to you, but if you have a job with a clearance or a bar membership or something, it seems wise to avoid that or just avoid getting tickets in the first place.[/quote]

These suits will only be filed in truly egregious cases, like people owing tens of thousands of dollars. He's gonna gonna go after someone with like two unpaid tickets.[/quote]

Well, I mean, better to use a program like WAZE that tells you where the cameras are and avoid the tickets, no?  You never know how the laws or enforcement will change in the future.  [/quote]
