Missouri Supreme Court struck down red light cameras this week. The rational:
- One of the city ordinances stated no points would be applied against the person fora red light camera violation, but that conflicts with state law requiring points for moving violations.
- Another city ordinance unbconstitutionally shifted the burden of proof of that the moving vioaltion occurred onto the defendant.
Courts have also halted red light camera use in Florida. Illinois & California have upheld the use of red light cameras while Ohio is facing an ongoing legal challenge.
