At least nine cities in California are sending out fake red light camera tickets, to get you to identify the driver, so that they can send the driver a real ticket. (The fake tickets don't have a court's address on them, as they have not been filed with the court! Therefore, they have no legal weight and should be ignored.) It's a great con game - most people, not having heard anything about it in the press, fall for it. And, while the fake tickets are fully bilingual, I think that those not as familiar with American courts (and such things as the 5th Amendment) are much more likely to be fooled.

In case you need additional info, look at this free-of-any-charge website: http://www.highwayrobbery.net/redli...icket.htm#Fakes

I hope you find this of interest.

Interesting read even though I'm not from the area.
