Status on Red Light Camera Tickets: you may still get flashed in Los Angeles County.
But does that mean you have to pay?
I received a ticket on 6/30/2011. Unfortunately, they stopped enforcing them on 7/1/2011.
Even though Viaragosa released a statement that red light ticket payments are "voluntary," the Court will still send a collection agency after you if you ignore the ticket!
I spoke to an officer and a librarian at the Court to find out the status on these tickets.
They recommended sending a Trial by Deceleration the minute you get the ticket. The case will likely be dismissed anyways.
Once you've done that, you should be able to ignore the ticket.
Great reporting, Seventeen!
