“City Attorney Richard Doyle...said the city didn’t know the program was illegal when it ran it.”

Let me know the first time that excuse ever works for a citizen.

"City Attorney Richard Doyle had not seen the lawsuit as of Monday afternoon, but he said the city didn't know the program was illegal when it ran it."

As far as I know, ignorance of the law is not a valid defense, ever.

The city killed the program that put white radar photo vans on the streets to cut down on speeding after questions were raised in 2006 about the legality of having city engineers - not cops - write citations.

Can't the same thing be said about the much-hated "gotcha" red-light/speed cameras that are popping up everywhere?
