In Ohio, The state classifies thes RED light cameras as a civil pently, but they can run up to $100.00 the news station did a story about the cameras here in Toledo about the number of people paying the fine, out of 15,000 tickets only about 1,000 were paid. when they announced they were going to take people to court a lawyer put a large add in the paper for FREE assistance, about 8,000 people showed up to court. the attorney pled NOT guilty on behalf of all 8,000. well needless to say, the courts didnt have time
nor the money to handle 8,000 people for a speedy trial, so the all got dismissed.
