We are issuing a consumer alert about a scam involving red
light camera tickets. We learned today that in at least two cases, a
caller, posing as a law enforcement officer, informed potential victims that
they had failed to appear in court for a red light/speed camera ticket. The
victims are told to go to a local store and pay a substantial fine or a warrant
could be issued.
Please know that the PGPD and other law enforcement agencies
do not make phone calls requesting citizens bring payments to a business,
nor do we arrest for this civil offense. All payments are handled
by mail or through a website as listed on the tickets. If you
receive a phone call from anyone asking you to pay a red light camera
or any other ticket, please call the Prince George’s County Police
Department Automated Traffic Enforcement office at (301)
955-0790 during business hours or call 911.
