Many New Jersey drivers mistakenly believe that they cannot successfully challenge a red light camera ticket. But with the help of an experienced New Jersey traffic ticket attorney, you can fight the ticket and avoid the negative consequences associated with getting a moving violation.More than 20 states use red light cameras to harpoon drivers, so that even without the presence of a police officer, you will get stuck with an expensive traffic ticket that will affect your driving record and insurance premium rates. Although these cameras have fault and may be improperly maintained, they cost New Jersey drivers millions of dollars in traffic fines each year.
We have successfully challenged numerous traffic violation tickets issued by red light cameras. Based on our experience, there are a number of legal defenses that drivers can use to challenge a red light camera ticket, five of the most important being:
- The vehicle shown in the photograph does not belong to the driver.
- The photograph of the person driving does not depict the individual who received the moving violation.
- The red light camera was improperly maintained.
- The license plates do not match the driver’s car.
- There were no warning signs posted at the intersection.
Additionally, the State of New Jersey requires each of its townships to have their municipal engineers inspect the red light cameras every six months to sign off that they are properly functioning. Our New Jersey traffic ticket attorneys will use a failure to inspect as grounds to invalidate the results and have the traffic ticket dismissed.
