Another lawsuit has been filed against Florida’s red light camera system. A Lakeland, Florida lawyer has filed a lawsuit against the city of Lakeland and the company that operates the cameras that target people who run red lights. This lawsuit, the third against red light camera operators in the state of Florida, claims the company that runs the cameras does not have the proper state licensing. Since the cameras went into operation in Lakeland, the city has collected more than $1 million in fines and issued traffic citations totaling more than $2 million.
The lawsuit is asking that there be a repayment of the traffic citation fines at up to four times the amount of the ticket, according to a story by the Lakeland Ledger. The city is in the midst of a three-year contract with American Traffic Solutions who operate the red light cameras. This current lawsuit does differ from the first two in that this one claims ATS has not received the proper private investigating license required in Florida.
