They are getting a judgment against you, not against "property".

Who's getting a judgment? Certainly not your employer. The crap sent by your company has zero legal effect, much less is a "judgment". To get a judgment, you need to go to court.

Redflex and the municipalities they have hooked on this cash cow have not and will not ever let the racket that is photo-enforcement on a for-profit basis by a private entity ever be subject to judicial scrutiny, so there will be no judgment, ever.

At this point I'm doubting you're an actual lawyer.

Regardless of whether I am or not, you definitely aren't.

We're on the same side here.

Bottom line as far as Lafayette goes: if there's no judicial enforcement ordinance under Joey Durel, there never will be one. Nobody in the city/parish government or Redflex want the details of the money grab to be discovered in a civil proceeding. The cash flow is too good as it is with the number of people who are frightened into paying or are intimidated into paying because they believe they have a moral obligation to do so. As soon as a real judge has a case like this, they will kill the cash cow.

Your honor attached is an affidavit of the dept of motor vehicles attesting Legal Tiger is the registered owner of the vehicle in question.
City ordinance blah blah says the owner of the vehicle is liable for this infraction.

City asks for judgment as prayed for.

Judgment against a vehicle? I'm being serious.

As stated earlier, this is all rhetorical because the whole can of worms that is the for-profit law enforcement enterprise will be open to discovery, which your bosses that are behind the local Redflex money grab do not want out in the open. That's why Joey D and Tony T haven't been successful to date with this current council in authorizing collection suits, but I digress.

So, you haul me into court, without any proof that I was ever provided notice that I was issued a "ticket" by your company or any proof as to who the actual driver of the vehicle upon which you are attempting to impose liability. I stipulate that I am the registered owner of the vehicle...all you might have at that point is that the original fine will be judicially recognized to be owed by me. I then agree to pay $25.00, which Redflex gets to keep half, the lawyer gets a whopping 1/3 ($8.21, ftr) and the poor city/parish government will then keep what's left.

Tell me again about how this is not about money, but public safety?

Full disclosure: I have zero unpaid Redflex money grab "tickets" nor have I ever received one.

As a matter of fact, my letter didn't come from a collection agency. It was a law firm. And when they sent the "validation", it was a copy of the original ticket, with the original fine scratched out and a late fee tacked onto it, written ontop of the scratch out. I'm pretty sure they can't do that, legally, to collect debt.

---

Who sent you this "validation"? The firm in Cleveland, Ohio or the credit bureaus themselves? What additional steps did you take once you received that, if you don't mind my asking?

quote:

---

The city of Lafayette is already working on contracting out with collection attorneys to start suing on these tickets.

---

They are "talking" about doing this only so the issue remains fresh in the heads of the lemmings who can be scared into paying.

They won't do anything like this because to bring a claim such as these bogus claims in court, they have to prove the "debtor" was put in default and provided actual notice of the debt/default. They can't do that because they have no proof that these "tickets" were ever mailed in the first place.

I'll take notice once I see Redflex sending tickets certified mail or via process server. Until then, the game is to convince enough of these "debtors" to pay up so the Tony Trammel/Joey Durel slush fund keeps being replenished.

There is no way that the church didn't know in detail what was going on decades ago.

They had interviews with former Benedictine monks whose job it was to be a "fixer" and go into parishes where an abusive priest was recently removed, play like he was the pastoral replacement to the congregation, and effect settlements and confidentiality agreements from the abused and their families. Once the job was done, he would go to the next parish that needed a "fixer" and rinse and repeat. Shrewd business on the Church's part, but you just would expect more than naked self-preservation from an institution that claims to be the sole representation of the one true divinity on the whole planet.

Anyone catch this on Monday? Pretty disgusting story about abuse in a Wisconsin deaf school and a couple other scandalous instances. Even more disgusting was when they showed the degree of coverup at the Vatican's highest levels, which is a black stain on the papacy of JP2.

They delved into the Irish Church scandal too, so no doubt TNBhoy can chime in about how sinful these filmmakers are for covering such a topic and how they got all the facts wrong.

Within 5yards.

Roddy and your shite team lives off of push offs. Appropriate your dream season ends with your team and fans crying about this type of contact.

The luck runs out today.
