Any chance of citing the case style & file No.?? for the district court action?

A district court judge ruled Jan. 28 that the photo-radar program illegally gave police powers to a private contractor, who prepared and sent the summonses.

I have an interest in bumping this. The private contractor that originally developed this was Lockheed Martin's Government Services group. That group was bought by Affiliated Computer Services, based right here in Dallas. However, the group responsible for this works out east, near Washington, DC.

Denver, and the surrounding environs that make up the greater metro Denver area, have some of the most chicken s*** traffic laws, in terms of enforcement, anywhere in the U.S.. I lived in Denver for eight years ... and because my work required a fair amount of driving (sales) I was vulnerable to the extent that rarely did I not have points against my license. Most drivers drive to and from work during high traffic volume hours when the cops are doing little enforcement. It's the low volume hours when the cops are out trying to generate revenue.
I've lived in CA, CT, and other regions and aside from a speeding ticket, perhaps 3 to 5 years apart, I rarely get stopped for a traffic violation. Not so while I lived in Denver ... I was averaging 2 or 3 tickets a year.

I couldn't find anything regarding case number, etc. I'll keep looking.

Bumping to you, Rebelbase.

I find it difficult to believe that leftist Denver is backing off. They must have made their annual (fiscal) quota in only 5 months!

[Rebelbase]

Thanks Fred.

Maybe there is hope after all.

[Darth Sidious]

Thanks!

Darth. If more people like you will take a stand, I think we can get rid of these things.

FR bump to ya!

He said the city would restart the multimillion dollar program as soon as possible because it provides "significant public safety benefits revenue."

Who do they think they are kidding?

[CFW]

the multimillion dollar program

I think that is the key phrase in the entire article.

What do you think?

Judge Mary Celeste. It was a good ruling. However,

Do a "google" search. See what you find.
