No due process for tickets
Re: "Jefferson may shift camera money," Page 1, Nov. 3.
Contrary to the statement "drivers caught on camera barreling through stoplights," I was caught going 24 mph. I went to contest the ticket and was told by the district attorney that extenuating circumstances cannot be taken into consideration because of the way the Jefferson Parish Council wrote the law.
The woman in front of me was on the cell phone and driving erratically, so I was paying attention to her movements, not the lights. I am on a fixed income and cannot afford to pay a ticket for something I did not intentionally do. I was driving defensively, which the the cameras prove by the rate of speed. If you insist on due process, the penalty will double.
