Tonik Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Toledo got a temporary injunction over the weekend....Cleveland is suing also...I expect they might win this one. It will be one of the few home rule cases that they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Usually I side with locals over states and feds, but I hate red light cameras. How about the government living within their means. Columbus got a significant income tax increase a few years ago. Enough is enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing 15 over, never paid it, never issued warrant, no record of anything about it. I wouldn't pay one either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooner or later your friend will get a collection agency going after him...and they will ding his credit report. Unless he got lucky and the lost his records. It's all a Civil matter, so no warrant will ever be issued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a moving violation, no points, no warrant. It is just a civil fine.....some day a collection agency will call him......that is all that will happen.

TimTheAzn Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I heard that you can fight it by going to court and requesting the presence of the "officer" that issued the citation, is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mello dude Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Redflex makes the cameras, and in most cases "leases" them to cities at no cost in exchange for 60% (average) of the revenues generated. So, that means Redflex is party to civil action on a traffic law to anyone who happens to get nailed. That's what really pisses me off, a private third party is in cahoots with the city government entities and should have nothing to do with a civil action enforcing a traffic law. That should be illegal..... Edited March 24, 2015 by mello dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 And yet some would champion the private enterprise outsourcing of such a move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdubyah Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) There are some grumblings in the Department of Public safety about disabling electonic communications from Ohio to all 3rd party vendors that operate the cameras.
