Screw ATS and may they either repent and get out of the red light ticket business or die slowly of parasitic infestations.
It does look like ATS blew it on this one. It’s very risky to take action against ‘customers’, and even more risky when you depend of more, similar, future ‘customers’.
They are making it much HARDER for cities to set up what amounts to tolling systems...which is only good for Americans.
Rent seeking at its finest!
I agree with the company believe it or not. The greedy city invited them in and now they are rushing out after people got fed up. So pay the company for the expenses, preferably from the city’s pension fund.
hoisted on their own petard.
Letting a private business collect traffic fines is destined to fail, and guaranteeing a certain amount of revenue from the city is simply retarded.
The city was really frikkin’ stupid not to have a terminate-for-convenience (or modify-for-convenience) clause in the contract.
