So, I was recently given a 'notice of violation' in Sullivan County in TN in the mail.

Nobody hand delivered this to me. I did not sign for this.

The ticket has no pictures of me, and all the information I find online says I dont have to pay.

It says its a CIVIL penalty, meaning its not criminal

Theres no pictures of me so they cant prove its me driving

No officer was present

The ticket is a means of showing im guilty before proven innocent.

Payment isn't to a goverment website, its to a private company at violationinfo(dot)com.

Is this still true? All the information i can find is from 2016 an 2017 so i dont know if anything has changed since then. I still have doubts because im scared of legal repercussion. It also says at the top on the back "The City of Bluff City, Tennessee has adopted ordinance 2009 - 002, Section 15-803 authorizing the automated enforcement of traffic ordinances. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of ordinance 2009-002, the Bluff City Police Department is authorized to install and operate a photographic traffic control system within the City for the purpose of enforcing traffic ordinances"

Does this mean its legal now? or is this just more fancy talk to make me scared?

I cant afford to pay these tickets. Im unemployed seeking employment without a dollar to my name. The only phone they gave me was a 'customer service' number which was a robot telling me how to pay, and i couldnt find anywhere on the sheet or website ways to work it off through community service or anything.

Please help? What should I do? Im active so I can provide any information you need. Any advice is appreciated.
