If you happen to receive a red light camera ticket in the City of Arnold and you would like to protest it....
Go to court in Arnold, most of the time they will just dismiss it if you plan on fighting it.
If they decide to try you and find you guilty, appeal it to Jefferson County. This occurred recently and the lawyer for the city didn't show up($105 per hour + mileage) the case was dismissed and the City of Arnold had to pay the $31 in court costs. So not only did they not get their $94, they had to PAY $31. Say for arguments sake the lawyer does show up and they win, $105 per hour for his fee, mileage and his travel time= $250+/- and they collect $94...hmmmm in the hole to the tune of $156, it wouldn't take long for that to be a losing proposition, now would it?
