I was under the impression that they deemed the "red light" and "speeding" cameras, unconstitutional. Yet a friend just received a ticket. Has anyone else heard about this. Especially in Ohio?

In OHIO it was being said that there had to be a traffic cop present to present the ticket. Some of the cameras have already been taken down, but for some reason, this one is still up...

here's what i've found for those interested
Legislature Passes Traffic Camera Bill, Veto Uncertain
Both the Ohio House and Senate have passed HB 56, the red light camera bill. The bill outlaws speed cameras unless an officer is present, or unless it is located in a school zone. The bill also requires the police prove the identity of the driver, without resort to the camera pictures. Governor Taft is undecided as to whether to veto. New Law Puts City's Traffic Cameras in Jeopardy by Joseph L. Wagner, The Plain Dealer, Dec 13, 2006. See our prior post: Latest Incarnation of Red Light Camera Bill.

Got a "red light" ticket in the mail. Thing is we were making a right turn, and no signs were posted saying no turn on red. This was in Chicago.
I've not heard anything about them being unconstitutional. I'll have to look that up . . .

They're still everywhere in California.
If one doesn't run red lights, then one doesn't have to worry about them. Plus, the cameras are in a public place, so there's no constitutional breach of privacy or anything like that.
All of the cameras in California have signs posted as well.

Traffic cameras at intersections: Just another legal, money-making racket for a private company, all of the "life-saving" propaganda spewed forth notwithstanding.

You might have a case if your friend got the ticket in the mail. However if an officer stopped him/her and issued the ticket there than he/she has to pay.

Houston Texas is plastered with them and getting more. Also putting cameras all over parking areas.
In Houston you are on "Candid Camera".
