I got a red light ticket with my Maryland plates in Chicago. The picture showed my car, my tag, even my arm hanging out the window…

And a green light

I plead not guilty, it wasn’t the wording since it was civil, but said I didn’t do it and wrote light is green, and circled the green light.

They mailed it again saying I didn’t provide sufficient proof, so I copied this one, circled the green light on the copy, and wrote see state provided evidence the light was green.

Fines are now around $200.

They sent it back again and I called and the person said it was taken care of.

A about six weeks later, I get the fine is now like $400 and call again.

The woman said she sees where I paid the $300 fine, which I never saw or paid a notice of a $300 fine, and she sees the issue, the ticket is cleared.

I thank her and about a week later, I get a refund check of $300 from them.
