Missouri Court Decision on Red-Light Cameras Could Cost Springfield More Than $800K



Y
esterday- CSW fed a story from The SPRINGFIELD (MO) NEWS-LEADER that a MO Supreme Court decision negated that city's ability to collect $100 fines from that city's red-light runners who were caught by cameras.



In today's news from The NEWS-LEADER- a class-action lawsuit has been filed in behalf of those who had already paid their fines- and a revenue-stapped Springfield city government could be on the hook for more than $800000 in fines already paid by violators.

The City of Springfield has shut their red-light cameras off in the meantime.
