City Fails To Refund Illegally Issued Red Light Tickets And Lands In Federal Court

A federal class action lawsuit seeks to take advantage of last month's California Supreme Court's red light camera decision. The high court let stand a lower court ruling that invalidated citations on the ground that the city of Santa Ana's failed to provide the legally required warning periods before activating the automated ticketing machines.

Motorist Robert Plumleigh was forced to pay $480 on March 17, 2008 after a camera accused him of turning right at a red light at one of the sixteen intersections where the city failed to provide the required thirty-day warning period. He wants Santa Ana to refund all illegally issued tickets. US District Court Judge Cormac J. Carney on Wednesday gave Plumleigh's lawyers an extra thirty days to file for class certification.
