I don't think there are any demerits with photo radar tickets. I had got a ticket earlier this year for doing 13 km over the limit. It turned out to be $85 or something like that. If you have the time go see the Justice of the Peace ask for a reduced ticket and he'll almost always do that for you. How much they reduce by is completly arbitrary. The only question is how much is your time worth. It'll take a couple of hours out of your day and you have to pay to park downtown.
The Justice will say something like, "The court offers to reduce the ticket by to $60, do you accept this offer?". I don't know what happens if you reject it. Maybe he'll reduce it more, or maybe you can choose to get a court date to fight it. When I went down to the courthouse back in March, they were booking court dates in December.
