Ticket Clinic Florida Red Light Camera Class Action Law Suit

 

Say what you will of the Ticket Clinic. I hired them once and they got me out of a very costly Florida Highway Patrol speeding ticket that I totally deserved. I had an immaculate driving record which is why I hired them. But, that's a whole nuther story and discussion.

However, because I'm a former client of them, I received a notice today about them filing a class action law suit and seeking drivers who may have received red light camera tickets in Florida who are former clients of theirs. I don't qualify as I've never received a red light camera ticket, (thanks to this forum).

They plan to file in light of the recent Florida 4th District Court of Appeals ruling that stated the tickets are void and the current process in place violates Florida law.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

More Info about Florida RLC Ruling

Here is a link to some additional information about the ruling againt use of red light camera programs in Florida: http://is.gd/RmtMZs (Credit: Noah Pransky, WTSP.com, Tampa, FL)

Apparently an appellate court upheld "a Broward County judge's previous ruling that the City of Hollywood was 'not authorized to delegate police power' to private red light camera companies."

The article also notes: "The issue may get appealed again to the Supreme Court, so the impact of the Wednesday ruling may not be known for months."

The snowball gains enough mass and momentum to take out all the RLC's / speed cameras / seat belt cams and stop sign cams in the entire Ewe.S.Eh? Where men are men and sheep are very afraid!

Never argue with a pig. It makes you look foolish and it anoys the hell out of the pig!

went through on yellow yesterday

I started my turn on green, and the light changed to yellow at a rlc intersection. No sheep here, not afraid in any way. Didn't hit the brakes, actually just continued my turn as if the cam weren't there.

It's physically impossible to produce a pic of my car behind the line when the light turned red. Because it didn't happen. Video kinda works that way, it shows what truly happened. Again, I think everyone gets that. They just like to argue on the web.
