Riverdale Park filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by three Maryland drivers who claimed they were issued tickets by speed cameras that did not comply with state law, according to a story from The Gazette.
According to the $5 million lawsuit, a driver was given a ticket that had a forged signature of Riverdale Park Police Cpl. Clay Alford, the Gazette story said.
The city contends the speed cameras were operating in full compliance with the law.
Maybe a big loss in this very public suit will cause other cities to stop using the predatory money-grab ticket cameras. Maryland is among the worst offenders for using ticket cameras to issue thousands of tickets that go mostly to safe drivers. This needs to stop. James C.
