TALLAHASSEE — Urging the state Supreme Court to take up the controversial issue, an appeals court Wednesday rejected a motorist’s arguments that a South Florida city had given too much authority to a company that operates red-light traffic camera programs.
The 3rd District Court of Appeal overturned a Miami-Dade County judge’s ruling against the city of Aventura in a case involving a motorist who received a ticket for improperly turning right at a red light. In challenging the ticket, motorist Luis Torres Jimenez contended the city had illegally given “unfettered discretion” to a red-light camera company to review images of potential violations and to print and send out citations.
