From today’s Joplin Globe:
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Less than a day after the state Supreme Court ruled Springfield had not properly handled red light camera cases, a class-action lawsuit has been filed to have fees returned.
Attorney Jason Umbarger filed the lawsuit Wednesday, seeking to force the city to return $803,000 it’s collected in red light camera fees since 2007.
The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the city must handle red light camera tickets through the court system, rather than through administrative hearings.
The Springfield News-Leader says the city has turned off its 13 red light cameras and dismissed all outstanding tickets. The city council is considering whether to request a court rehearing in the case.
