Red Light tickets in Broward County
A recent Broward county decision prohibits police officer to write red light tickets. As bizarre as that may sound, it is going on in Broward county.
The use of red light cameras has really shaken things up and has impacted the ability of police officers to write speeding tickets. What is the reason for the shakeup?
The disparity between red light camera fines and officer tickets is pretty substantial and attorneys have argued that this disparate treatment is unconstitutional.
Why is it constitutional? It purportedly violates the equal protection clause by issuing different punishments (in this case fines) for the same offense.
