Red-light camera ticket violators could be off the hook | fox4kc.com: Kansas City, Missouri Municipal Court Administrator Megan Pfannenstiel confirmed that if the appeals court ruling stands, citizens who pay the fine won’t get their money back.

“If they do pay it, they are pleading guilty and they will not receive any refunds,” said Pfannenstiel.

There are 5,600 red-light camera tickets pending and nearly 17,000 warrants for people who never paid their fines. Pfannenstiel admitted those who want to take their chances and not pay, no longer have to worry about late fees or warrants, while waiting for the courts to make a final decision.

“We cannot stop them from paying if they chose to pay, but in the meantime, during this litigation no penalties will be added if they choose not to pay. No warrant will be issued for them,” said Pfannenstiel.
