WE THE PEOPLE
VS. RED-LIGHT-TICKETS
drivers contest and dismiss
their traffic tickets.
The July 2010 Supreme
Court decision
(People v. Park)
ruling in favor
of the motorist
ticketed for a red light
camera ticket in
Santa Ana, CA
because the city lacked compliance with the
requirement of Vehicle Code
section 21455.5 (b) (that a municipality
authorizing an automated enforcement
system at an intersection comply with the
prescribed warning requirements
prior to issuing citations) appears to have
opened the floodgates for litigation
and paved the way for class actions law suits.
This is likely
why the cities of Santa Ana, CA and West Hollywood, CA sent
letters to the court in hopes
of persuading the court to de-publish the decision,
but it was to no avail as in October 2010, the Supreme Court denied the cities’
requests for de-publication.
Now, motorist Robert Plumleigh ticketed in Santa
Ana at one of the sixteen
camera enforced intersections where the city had
failed to provide the required
30-day warning period, seeks
to have all such illegally issued tickets refunded.
The suit seeks to refund tickets issued to
motorists at the sixteen camera
enforced intersections in Santa Ana, CA between
May 2003 and November
25, 2009.
The class action names the Santa Ana Police
Chief, the Santa Ana City Attorney,
and Red Flex (out of state camera company) as
defendants, though Red Flex
seeks to get out of the lawsuit, one reason being
the warning period law allegedly
does not apply to a private company.
Plumleigh’s lawyer was given until December to
file for class certification.
