Oops, now you have a warrant!

[WonkaVision]

Ok, In houston they have begun installing many redlight cameras. I have had at least 5 tickets sent to my apartment, but addressed to the previous tenant. I ignored it for a long time, but I recently got a letter addressed to them from the city, announcing that since they had failed to pay the tickets (which they never received), their license has been suspended and they have a warrant out for them.

After laughing long and hard at this, I wondered if I could be held accountable in any sense since I never bothered to correct the governments mistake. I imagine not...but I do find it funny that this idiot has a suspended license and doesn't know.

[Ovaherenow]

yes, you are responsible to forward mail to their current address.

[roche]

If anything, you would get in trouble for opening up and reading their mail.

[CM Mark]

Gotta say, no matter what the outcome, very fucking funny

You're not reading their mail are you?

[Budyzir]

Dude, if they bust the guy and do an investigation, they're going to realize the problem and it's going to come back to you.

[Ovaherenow]

hahah

SEE YOU IN EIGHT YEARS.....WHEN O&A ARE ON "WI FI"

[MJMANDALAY]

You are required to have the mail returned to the local Post Office. We recieved mail from the former owner and mark it as moved/does not live here.
You are also not allowed to open any mail not addressed to you.

[Myhairygrundle]

Were they mexican? If so, it's way more funny.

[blazin]

How does your license plate number that the traffic cam captured come back to a name other than yours?

[kid afrika]

yes, you are responsible to forward mail to their current address.
How could you possibly be required to know the current address?

At most, you may be required to notify the postal carrier that the person no longer resides at the address.

[tstlkevanilla]

Yes he is. And if he opened their mail, I believe that's a federal offense.. I hope you're still laughing when you're in the slammer.

[Verbal Kint]

How does your license plate number that the traffic cam captured come back to a name other than yours?

Is the previous tenant also the title holder of your car?????

[wes mantooth]

Complain immediately to your landlord in writing that you have been having some mail missing. Ask them if it's possible that a previous tenant may still have a key for your mail slot. Then tell them you'll check with USPS. Send them a letter too.

It's a slim chance but it may be your only one. Good luck.

The tickets are not his. The person who got the tickets used to live at that address. When the other guy moved odds are he never notified the DMV or got a new license.

[Sprite]

Wonka, if you still have any of the old notices simply take them to the post office and say that the tenant no longer lives at that address. They will try to locate the person, and if they can't then it's the old tenant's problem. If someone is careless enough to move and not change their license/reg info, let alone at least have their mail forwarded somewhere they can get it, then fuck 'em. If you don't have the old notices then say nothing about them, and simply say you opened the open one by mistake, thinking it was yours. Good luck, bro.

Ah, now I get it. THe original post sounded like he was getting the tickets.

[HockeyHelmet]

You probably fucked cuz you opened the mail...but even if you sent it back and dont know there address you would get it delivered right back to you...if they dont fill out a change of address form...the shit will just come back to you...

[Three Hole Puncher]

Get yourself an army of Jew lawyers and start suing everybody... the previous tenants, the U.S. Postal Service, the police agency who sent the tickets, the mailman who delivered the tickets, the company who manufactured the shoes that allowed the mailman to deliver the tickets, the old lady with all the fucking cats who lives in the apartment next to you, etc...

Sue them all for tortious malfeasance, punitive damages, loss of consortium, replevin of your chattels, spectator trauma, pain and suffering, and anything else your lawyers can come up with. Sue them for eleventy kajillion dollars. Habeas the living fuck out of their corpuses.

That's the way we do it in New York, and that's why it's such a paradise up here.

I fucking hate Long Island.

[fatfrankie]

i say if thay cant take a joke fuck them, and as long as you stick to the same story you returned it with a note right # wrong party you may be covered

[Taso]

Did you sign for any letters? if you did, then yes, you can get fucked. There is no way they can prove you received his mail. You can just say you never seen anything, unless your DMV frequents wackbag that is. I had gotten a Jury Duty questionare which i just kept tossing out, until i got a letter with them threatening to fine me for not filling them out, then i just wrote them back a nice letter saying how i never received the letters and whatnot, to which they apologized and then immediately sent me another questionare with their apology. I did in fact fill that one out.

[cozzie]

looks like someone's gonna be a "bitch" in prison , sorry sir, or mam

[Angelfuck]

are any of them unopened? take the latest one and write "Moved" on the envelope, then give it to your postman and shred the rest, they cant prove you opened them or even that your recieved them

[weeniewawa]

thats the best way to handle it and with all these tickets coming to this guy, do you really think he wanted his mail to follow him anyway? Also get a couple of those license plate covers that block the cameras from seeing the plate from off to the side where they are and put one on the back too as sometimes they have another camera that shoots from the back just for that reason.sneeeky those coppers they are

[kidconnor]

sneeeky those coppers they are


Not coppers its the city. The guy that moved probably never changed his registration with the DMV or the address on his license. SO when his plate comes up on the camera the ticket goes to his registered DMV address.. which is his old one. As far as you getting the mail.. who is to say you did. Hard, if not impossible to prove.

Funny though, with the red light cameras it is IMPOSSIBLE to say who was driving your car.. no points go against you rlicense... funny that they would suspend it. But who cares..

And get the clear cover for your license. Here in NY its is illegal to obstruct your plate in any way.. and yes a clear cover with reflective properties to it will get you more tickets than a red light camera. You can get them as you are parked and as you are moving.. just wait 30 seconds at the light. cheapest way

and yes its funny..

[Smokezilla]

I'd take any and all of the letters, opened or unopened, and chuck them into a storm drain somewhere away from my house and disavow any knowledge. If the other person is driving around on a suspended license, he'll find out when he gets pulled-over in the future. The gentlemen in Law Enforcement will explain the situation to him (maybe with a nightstick, even!).;)

[WonkaVision]

I have already disposed of all the letters. I don't make a habit of opening other's mail, but these looked so official that curiosity got the best of me. Funny shit though

[DoucheMeister]

Unless they were registered, they can't prove you ever received them.
