>>@obxgirl: I just looked at this page on the DMV website. I think I may have an argument after I read item # 6.<<

Sounds like you're good to dispute it since you've got the documentation. I'll disagree with the posters who say ignore it. Deal with it.

You'd better deal with it, one way or another.

We rented a car in Los Angeles. We received a ticket for a red-light infraction that occurred 10 days after we flew out of the city. The photo was a laugh--a guy 6 inches taller than my husband with way more hair.

The rental car company gave the police our name in error; they typed the wrong date in the system. It was a headache to clear up, even though we were entirely in the right.

Item 6 refers to someone who has received an erroneous citation, in other words, the person who has the license plate number written on your ticket. I do not see how you can be connected to that plate. Forget about it.

I would ordinarily say pay the fine especially if you broke the law but I also agree with Howard..how can they possibly track you or the rental car company down?

And it is pretty obvious there are a lot of people on this thread who don't read very well.

I thought he used a credit card to pay for his spot. If so, the online vendor would have to give his credit card info to the authorities if asked. I guess I don't understand how your mobile app works as our city doesn't have that option.
