OK What will happen. there was a traffic camera, I Was driving a car rental. I DIDNT want part of my car sticking out in the road.

A:  Locally licensed lawyer

For questions involving state laws, lawyers who are licensed in the same state as the asker are often able to provide more relevant answers than out-of-state lawyers.

For questions involving federal laws (e.g., immigration or patents), this distinction is unimportant.

Answered . What will happen is that the tag will be captured by the camera and a citation will be sent to the rental company which will in turn send it to the renter – you or whomever gave you the keys.

If you receive the camera ticket prior to it becoming a UTC (uniform traffic citation) and while it remains a civil infraction, then you can pay it and get neither points nor an entry on your driver history.

If it is alrteady a UTC (and not a civil infraction) by the time that you get it then I suggest that you hire a local traffic ticket lawyer. I can’t speak to the 516 per se, but in Miami, Fl, where I have been a practicing criminal defense lawyer for 22+ years, for $49-$99 you will get a lawyer who knows the law, the procedure, the Judge and probably the cop. In short you will almost certainly get both competent representation and a better result for a relatively small fee / investment.

I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
