L-R: Red-Light Camera in Balcones Heights
Red light tickets were declared unenforceable by St. Louis courts and alderman this past Sunday. To quote: “If you threw it in the trash,” says St. Louis Alderman Freeman Bosley Sr., chairman of the aldermanic Traffic Committee, “nothing would happen.”
Nothing would happen?! You hear that folks? An unenforceable mandate by the government. Go crazy, shred that stupid ticket and refuse to pay the spy camera’s fine.
Beware: Other cities are resolving “shortcomings” in the plan by creating yet more stupid laws to penalize not responding to the ticket. Apparently the government still doesn’t understand that “two wrongs don’t make a right.”
Red light cameras sued as unconstitutional In Red light scam lawsuit, Mark Cevallos, right light camera
Citizens in Balcones Heights are rejoicing. Mark Cevallos filed a lawsuit against the City of Balcones Heights, claiming the city violated his rights by taking his picture with a red light camera and sending him a traffic ticket.
In his words the red light cameras violates the plaintiff’s due process rights under both the Texas and United States Constitutions. “You don’t have any right to a trial, a right to confront witnesses,” Cevallos said referring to the red light camera tickets.
Former Balcones Heights Councilman Steve Walker, a lone dissenter against the installation of the cameras and voted against the ordinance in 2006 says, “From what little I know about the alleged lawsuit, it appears that Mr. Cevallos is saying exactly what I maintained back when we voted to allow the cameras.”
Go and get ‘em Cevallos.
