Parking and/or traffic violations issued to a corporation must be answered by the attorney for the corporation.

A corporation may contest a Red-Light Camera Notice of Violation by requesting a hearing and may authorize, by having the employee appear with a signed letter from the corporation advising the employee may appear at the hearing because the employee was the operator of the vehicle at the time the alleged violation occurred. The employee will have to acknowledge at the hearing that he/she was operating the vehicle at the time of the alleged infraction. If, after a hearing, the alleged violation is found to have occurred, fines and fees will be due and payable. The employee may pay the fines and fees, but they ultimately are the responsibility of the owner of the vehicle and the failure to pay such fines may result in the seizure of the vehicle for nonpayment of fines.
