I came home to day to find a nice letter from the "Traffic Violations Bureau"

"Hmm, I wonder what this is..." I thought.

I open it up to find a piece of paper with 4 photographs printed on it in black and white.
The top image is of a car just before the crosswalk.
The second is of the car in the intersection (in front of the crosswalk).
The third is a closeup of the license plate.
And the fourth pic is a closeup shot of my face.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!!" I thought.

I looked at all the text on the side, which is simple. It has my name, address, date of birth, time of day the photo was taken, my weight, my height. Everything on the text part of the form is correct, except one thing. The license plate is not from my car.

The intersection where this happened is no where near me, in fact it says I ran this light at 9:26 a.m. going east bound at Beverly and Robertson. That's like 4 cities away from where I was at that time, which was in my office fighting to stay awake.

The color of the car is incorrect, and the photos are not even of me.

Should I just throw this letter in the trash?
Or should I pay it or what?

I have mixed feelings about those. On the one hand how can the same type of people who run the post office NOT screw this up. On the other hand so many people run red lights there are not enough cops to catch them - and one of them might hit me. This would be a great system if it actually worked.
