Oregon camera tickets: FAQ
If someone else was driving, can I get out of a camera ticket in Oregon?
Yes. Oregon lets the registered owner file a Certificate of Innocence (ORS 810.436 / 810.437) stating you weren’t the driver. A valid one can cancel the ticket. It must be true — it’s sworn under penalty of perjury.
How do I fight a traffic camera ticket in Oregon?
If someone else was driving, file a Certificate of Innocence (ORS 810.436 / 810.437) — follow the steps above. If it was you, request a hearing to contest the citation itself. Either way these are civil tickets, so no license points.
What is the Certificate of Innocence in Oregon?
It’s a sworn statement to the court that the vehicle was in someone else’s control at the time of the camera infraction. File it by signed certificate with a copy of your license, by the deadline printed on the citation.
Do camera tickets in Oregon put points on my license?
No. Automated red-light and speed camera citations in Oregon are civil — they don’t add points to your driving record. Don’t pay the fine before filing, though — paying usually withdraws your right to declare.
One rule: it has to be true.
This is a statement under penalty of perjury. If someone else really was driving, use it without hesitation. If you were the one driving, filing anyway is a crime far more serious than the ticket — just pay it or request a hearing.
