For any of you that have gotten one of these tickets, did the photo that was sent to you have a picture of just your license plate, or of your face as well?
My Niece got one of these tickets, and hers had her face on it. Unfortunately for her, it kind of did her in. She was laughing about it afterwards, but her expression was a shocked one of, "Oh my God, the light turned red". Kind of hard to explain that away to the judge. :)
A few years ago, a friend of mine rented a car for a couple of days and had to drive to Los Angeles. A week later, she got a ticket in the mail with the license number on the rental. The license plate only photo was dated for the day after she turned the car in. She could only surmise that somehow when the ticket went to Hertz, they sent the cops the paperwork for the last driver of the vehicle (my friend) not whoever was driving it and got the ticket.
It was very aggravating for my friend to fix. Hertz of course would not release the name of the driver who got the ticket or that driver's paperwork to my friend, and whoever handles the tickets in LA would not call Hertz to request it. They also would not accept a faxed or scanned rental receipt from my friend showing the dates of her rental. She ended up having to drive 120 miles to LA to go to court with the hardcopy invoice and an affidavit from work showing she was nowhere near LA the day of the ticket. They let it go, but her time and expense to clear herself were more than the fine would have been.
