I got a hot tip tonight from one of my South DaCola foot soldiers;
Mayor Munson is ordered to give a deposition this friday (on a redlight camera case). Â People have stopped paying camera tickets, not only in Sioux Falls but around the country. Â Rumor has it, the camera company is in bankruptcy.
That sucks. Not.
Sioux Falls and Redflex Traffic Systems Inc.
A lawsuit has been filed and is seeking class action status against the city of Sioux Falls, SD and the firm who provides traffic cameras. The lawsuit claims the city’s traffic cameras violate South Dakota state code and are only a moneymaker for the city. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of 17,000 motorists who were ticketed based on photos taken by traffic cameras in downtown Sioux Falls. Motorists have paid more than $1.2 million in fines because of the Sioux Falls cameras; about $750,000 of that has gone to Redflex.
