A judge is ordering Des Moines to refund fines issued to hundreds of drivers who appealed speeding tickets they received from cameras on Interstate 235...
...drivers who appealed tickets from December 2013 to present...
...Most tickets were for $65
what about the points on their license and insurance increases from same?I think all camera enforcement is questionable . . . I hope the courts shut down all of them.
in colorado, these tickets are a civil matter under state law, and if you ignore all the letters and threats and dodge any attempted personal service for a total of 90 day after the picture, the whole matter is automatically mooted under state law as if it never happened, with zero consequences.
it’s a great game to play .. and fun when you win!
Good. But $90K is nothing.
Before the Iowa DOT forced Cedar Rapids to remove some of their MANY cameras, I read they had one camera that generated/stole more than $1 million per year. One camera!
At one time, Cedar Rapids was pulling in over $10 million per year with their speed cameras.
Sort of like the old speed traps of the old South ... popup stop signs, speed signs behind trees, etc. .... so much better off in the electronic era!!!!!
