My daughter was caught by photo speed trap in my car. How can speeding be a non moving violation, making me responsible?

My daughter was caught by photo speed trap in my car. How can speeding be a non moving violation, making me responsible? This took place in the City of New Orleans.It seems to be an obvious case of conveniently making the law a non moving voilation so the car owner can be held responsible, since they can't ticket the driver from a photo.

To add insult to injury, she was only going 8 MPH over the limit. It seems to me like holding a baseball player reponsible if somebody uses the player's bat to break a window.

For example, tell us more about the "non moving violation". Were you cited for a "non moving violation" after your car was photographed by a speed trap. I didn't know they were using photos as a part of speed traps.

I thought cameras were used at traffic signals to catch those who run red lights at intersections, etc. I thought they only cited you for failure to stop using the photo as evidence.

2 I thought the same thing you thought regarding photos. The details: She was traveling at 8 MPH over the speed limit in a school zone and the car was photographed from behind, showing the license plate and the speed limit sign. The tops of the photos are imprinted with the date, time, speed traveled, speed limit, and address.

The violation description on the notice of violation is "speeding over authorized limit" and there is a note that "This is a non moving infraction. No points will be assessed and the infraction will not be reported to your insurance company. "This is a point of principal for me and I don't want to throw my daughter under the bus, so I will not make a fuss with the City of New Orleans.

I have no problem with them catching speeders with photo speed traps, especially in a school zone, but they should be catching the speeders, not the owners of the cars they drove. I have not idea how I can be liable for a penalty for owning the tool used to commit the crime.

3 If you own the car, you are responsible for the actions of the people you allowed to use it, regardless of the type of offense. As for "only" 8 miles over the limit, well, where do you draw the line? How many mph over the limit is not acceptable?

At 10 miles over? 20? 50?1 mile over the limit is speeding.

Sorry, but I have no sympathy. She broke the law, and involved you. Instead of being mad at the city, you should be mad at your daughter..

4 I'm confused as to why you're complaining about the "non moving violation" part. While I agree that sounds silly, you seem to be asserting that the driver of the car is responsible for moving violations, but the owner of the car is responsible for non moving violations. Can you back that up anywhere?

From what I can tell in my brief research, that's untrue. What happens is that the owner of the car is accused of having made a traffic violation, and is sent the citation. The owner of the car is then perfectly able to plea Not Guilty, and to prove his/her innocence to the court by telling the judge who *was* driving.It has nothing at all to do with moving vs non-moving.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
