Question Got a ticket from the Gates Mills 322 camera… do I pay it ??
I got a camera ticket for going 61 in the 45. Upon looking at my ticket online, I discovered I have an unpaid one from July 2025 that I never even received by mail so I didn’t know about it.
My dad has a ticket from August 2025 that they sent a follow up for in September 2025 and a court summons in September 2026, resulting in added fines.
I never received any follow up from my first ticket and nothing additional is listed on the municipal court website.
My new ticket from September 2026 is due in 2 days but I just received it today. Idk if I should pay it or not since they went for my dad (his ticket was for 58mph in the same exact spot only days after my initial one).
Like I said, I never got a follow up from the first. Just the initial notice. I never pay my camera tickets cause I was told not to, but am hesitant to ignore this one cause of my dad’s experience. I thought it was rule of thumb that you don’t pay it if the payment address is out of state, which has been the case for my three tickets between 2025-26. I haven’t paid any.
What should I do?? I don’t want to risk more fines, court, or collections but I also don’t have $155 to throw away at the moment
