Elmwood Place
And the rats abandon the ship
Several elected village leaders quit amid the controversy over the speed cameras. Mayor Stephanie Morgan resigned in October, and four of the seven council members resigned in May. Robert Schmid, a former police officer who has been recruited to fill one of the council vacancies, eventually became mayor.

you need to remember
You need to remember the ruling is based on the way Elmwood Place wrote their ordinance. Under their ordinance a person receiving a ticket had no way to petition for a hearing and that is what was ruled as unconstitutional. There was no ruling against the cameras or the way they operated.
Illiterate? Write for free help.
Money!
It's all the city official increasing revenue thru illegal mean.

If a municipality wants the revenue, enacting legislation to allow them to do so is available.
In addition
In addition, perhaps the resignations were to avoid personal liability of the town or individuals.
