A jury in Middletown, Connecticut has ruled in favor of a man who hit an unmarked police car.
The city was seeking approximately $10,000 from the man and his insurance company, arguing that the man was at fault. Several witnesses gave conflicting testimonies as to whether the crusiers lights and sirens were on. The defendant argued that he did not see the unmarked police cruiser coming until it was too late to avoid the accident.
In 2005, the city of Minneapolis began using red-light cameras. Red light cameras are positioned at stop lights to take pictures of the license plates of vehicles that run the red light.
The city mailed out fines to the car owners, and required the owners to sign the form and return it with a $142 fine, or face an arrest warrant. Many car owners were outraged when they recieved their ticket in the mail, claiming that they were not driving the car at the time of the infraction.
