Superior Court of
the State of California, County of San Diego
A California Court authorized this Notice. This is
not a solicitation from a lawyer.
If you paid a fine, penalty,
attorneys' fees or forfeited bail as a result of a
citation issued from a red light automated enforcement system operated
in California, you may be a member of a Class Action lawsuit. At this
time, you do not have to do anything to remain a Class Member. This is
to inform you of the Court's certification of two Plaintiff Classes, the
nature of Plaintiffs' claims, and your right to participate in the
proposed Settlement.
WHAT
IS THIS CASE ABOUT?
The
Class Representatives claim that the red light photo enforcement
systems operated in certain California cities are illegal because (1)
they are operated by a private, for-profit corporation instead of
government agencies in cooperation with law enforcement; and (2) the
private, for-profit corporation is paid if money is collected from the
red light ticket. The Class Representatives seek to recover fines,
penalties, attorneys' fees or forfeited bail and that Class Members
paid as a result of the citation, punitive damages, restitution, a
declaration that the Defendants' conduct is illegal and an order from
the Court prohibiting the Defendants from continuing these practices.
Defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing.
The Court has made no determination of the merits of Plaintiffs' or
Defendants' case.
REQUEST A
SETTLEMENT CLAIM FORM
A
Settlement has been proposed which resolves a portion of this Class
Action Lawsuit. You are a Member of the Settlement Class if you paid a
