Red Light Camera Revenue Commissions held pending a Constitutional Court Case
I found this article in todays paper whilst having lunch and thought it was newsworthy and have given it a more fitting headline.
An audit of a camera deal found Melbourne-based Redflex Holdings allegedly agreed to pay 3.2 per cent of its share of camera revenue to the former United States councillor, who subsequently arranged to split the cash with the wife of a local judge.
The company – which also operates Victorian red light cameras – is at the centre of several court actions in Louisiana after a local council outside New Orleans turned off the cameras last January amid concerns company lobbyists were earning a share from camera fines.
Redflex is now locked in a court battle with Jefferson Parish to recover $US5 million that the parish has refused to pass on to Redflex until the outcome is known of a separate court action that alleges the cameras are unconstitutional.
If anyone knows which court case the article refers to, please let us know.
