seriously doubt he contested it. i don't know about PA or MA, but in MD a red light or speed camera ticket is nothing more than a $ maker for the precinct. cheaper to pay than contest it and they do not show up on your driving record or cause any points. the ticketing and collection is outsourced to a third party, with an actual police officer responsible for "verifying" the data is correct. in fact, the state is working on passing legislation that removes the police review requirement so the 3rd party can churn and burn the ticket mailings.
