If you have been mailed something that looks like a red light camera ticket, but it does not have the address and phone number of the Superior Court on it, or if it says, "Do not contact the court, " it's not really a ticket at all. It's what I call a Snitch Ticket, and it was generated by police, on a "pfishing" expedition.
A real ticket will always tell you, "You must respond to the court on or before, " and it will give you the name and address of the local branch of the Superior Court.
The Snitch Tickets are a clever ploy to get registered owners to identify an otherwise-unidentifiable driver.in the towns that use Snitch Tickets, if the technicians reviewing the photos see that the pictured driver is obviously not the registered owner due to gender mismatch or a great difference in age, or if the photo is too blurry to be sure of who it is, one tactic they use is to send the registered owner an official-looking notice telling him that he must identify the driver.in the law enforcement business, they call these notices a "Nomination."
What to Do About Your Snitch Ticket
If you have received one of these arm-twisting notices, with no court address on it, you can ignore it. It's a bluff, a con, a ruse, etc.
If you want to double-check before taking my advice, you could look up the phone number of the court serving the town that sent you the Snitch Ticket, call that court's traffic department and ask if an action has been brought against you.
