Here in Wisconsin there are not many traffic cameras, but you can get and get out of incorrect tickets.... Last year somewhere in Milwaukee a Landover with a different paint color( I know because the ticket had make, model, color, plate number and location parked listed) than my Suburban got a parking ticket and the meter maid recorded my plate number by mistake....I made some calls explaining I'd never been in that area and that my plate had only been on GM vehicles and the ticket was dismissed as the mistake it was.

Several years ago Wisconsin tried to pass legislation only requiring front plates. The police were the main opponents. They (rightly) claimed that the plates are on cars primarily for law enforcement reasons, and if looking for a particular vehicle they can see and read thousands of license plates on vehicles coming towards them in traffic, but can only read the plate in front of them when following a car.

Got stung a few months ago = parked car & saw a sign "one hour free" so went to the shops & came back 30 mins later to a a ticket, asked the parking warden why? He pointed to a very small sign saying you had to get a free ticket from the machine even for the free one hour. Been on local TV news about it being unfair. Also people have got parking tickets via CCTV camera for being stopped in traffic jams, it's getting daft here... |

This is a TRUE story
The Governor of New Hampshire recently stepped in and forced the RMV to allow a woman to keep a plate she had for years . The woman , being a Mom , had a message for her kids right there in the car's license plate ; PB4WEGO And the RMV had sought to recall the plate because of it's reference to "excretory functions" . I'm glad the Gov of NH has a sense of humor ..... |

There was a big ooh-ahh going on in our local newspapers & local TV stations that a man got a 60 pounds parking ticket: He was stopped for 16 seconds at a give way (yeald) sign at a T junction waiting for a gap in the traffic & a CCTV camera van clocked him & thought he was parked & issued the fine by post. They eventually canceled the fine after many months of appeals & wrangling...
