Though this particular post is a year old,you should have fought this,or even better do your research.Speed CAMERAS are ILLEGAL in the ENTIRE STATE of Alabama.Now a FEW BIG cities are using RED LIGHT cameras,those do NOT measure speed,as I said before the SPEED cameras are not legal in Alabama.If it was a ticket for running a red light,then yes it could be a trap,since I personally consider camera enforcement traps.But our State has not written into the constitution any law that legally allows law enforcement to use speed cameras.Also did you check to see if somebody was trying to scam you?Could have been a scammer trying to make a quick buck,since we DO NOT have legal SPEED CAMERAS in OUR GREAT STATE of Alabama.
