Because I just got a text from some lawyer saying they’ll make my problems go away “starting at” $300 and it’s like WHO HAVE YOU CONSENT TO SOLICIT, I DIDN’T

This is often a law firm contracted with the municipality issuing the ticket. They are essentially the debt collectors, but they will often frame it as helping you resolve the ticket. I think this is mostly a thing with smaller municipalities that derive income from this kind of thing.
It looks like the text I got was from some Kansas based “concierge” service called ticket takedown that matches people up with traffic lawyers in their area, or something like that. It could still be contracted out to the city/county but idk
It’s just kind of like a, what the fuck is this? moment, from the lack of privacy. It’s not like I was ever asked for consent to give out my contact information. This will probably help me find a lawyer because I have no executive function and can’t take care of my life but i’m still bothered by it
