Camera Laws Falling
- Ohio cities make missions on red light and speed cameras, but a recent court ruling should give them pause.
Cameras in Elmwood Place, Ohio, were declared a “scam,” and in March a judge ruled the city had to shut them down. The city defied the order, which led Hamilton County Judge Robert Ruehlman to declare the city in contempt. He then ordered the Hamilton County Sheriff to seize the equipment.
Thursday, Ruehlman reiterated the camera system violated Ohio’s constitution and rules on judicial process and public notice. He ordered the city to refund the $1.76 million collected in fines from the cameras — and to pay attorneys’ fees — because the city “acted in bad faith in implementing the ordinance.”
That's a pretty vicious slap at the town. This cold be the groundwork for any number of suits against the cameras, their operators and the city. After all, these things were pushed through with almost no debate and bribery was involved in seemingly every step of the process.
Anyone have a rich uncle who can spearhead the effort?

OT- SCC is there anyway we could have an open post in regards to the upcoming FOP election. We have had all these people come into roll call and give us the "talk" on why we should vote for them. I would like to hear what others have to say.
Got a speeding warning. Showed that I was 12 mph over on a still frame. Yet, now speed showed on the video. Hmmm?
But this was an Ohio judge...not one of our garden variety Cook County political hacks.
Let us hope not. Speed and red light cameras are a valuable tool of government. Not only do they raise needed revenue, but they are also an effective way to fight traffic crime and maintain law and order.
Elmwood Place, population 2,200 is a tiny suburb just north of Cincinnati.
Forget about the cameras and start to worry about soft targets in Chicago during the Olympics. These terrorist like to kill kids.
Don't think they going to attack strength. Security forces geared up for them at the Olympics. Whole bunch of countries were sent warnings.
Fuck the comstat meetings and bs arrests in 11. Sure the west side is safe from terror attack. They prob better prepared to fight Chechen rebels.
Don't think rest of chi-raq or the police department is.
All I know is I will be at my kids school everyday during the Olympics for added sucurity. Sure few more dads will agree.
Look up Beslan school hostage crisis. Nothing says terror like school full of dead kids.
Lock and load and hope they pick some other place to attack.
I never would have thought the day would come when I held a county judge in such high regard / standing as a local hero. Born & raised in crook county, never knew anything else - but now, wowza, this judge is really for the working people, he recognized revenue thieves and political fuckery and is intent on ending it- This gentleman is certainly a hero to me. xoxoxo to OH Hamilton County Judge Robert Ruehlman <3
WHOOOOOOO!
Red light and speed cameras overturned in Chicago and Rahm forced to make the captive taxpayers whole by returning to them the money he cut their ass pockets to get?
Hold that thought SCC... We're going to put on a tin of Jiffy-Pop and grab a couple of beers because THAT SHIT is going to be fucking hilarious!
It'll be like watching a purse-snatcher being chased down by a mob and getting a clown royal ass kicking because he targeted ol' Aunt Granny.
Rahm's a degenerate welcher anyway... Nobody but his friends and contributors are seeing any money, let along being made whole on an owed debt.
No mention about the dude posted up in district stations pretending to sell vest covers? Then stealing coppers vests!
Bribery in politics? NO WAT!
I can't wait for the hammer to fall on this one. Fox River Grove, Illinois ("Little Moscow") has been making millions with their red light scam system at US-14 and IL-22 citing "safety". If "safety is such a concern, why not simply install two "NO TURN ON RED" signs? Chicago is trying the same scam with their red light scamera system. Safety has nothing to do with it. It's really all about revenue.
I think the ballerina got the state legislature to change the laws in Illinois to make them legal here, again vote out any state representative that voted yes for these cameras.
I have a crazy uncle. After a couple PBRs and Kesslers at Beatrice' s he would be happy to take a hacksaw and cut down all those cameras.
In the meantime, they should be destroyed whenever possible.
It all starts in Ohio then comes to Shitcago.

A judge in this county would never go against The Family.
The Family makes judges. Oh vey.
what comes around goes around.
Actually, I'd like to see more cameras. Follow the speed limit and you've got nothing to worry about.
Maybe this case on Red Light and Speed cameras can be heard by the United States Supreme Court! I believe this is a great issue concerning Amendment violations!
I got a speed warning notice in the mail that told me where I was, date and time, and ticket # however, never said the speed I was going. Letter told me because it was my 1 st violation I didn't have to pay a fine but I would for any future violations. Hmmmm... Seems to me with no mention of drivers speed they could be sending out bullshit warnings. Also, there was no recording or framed still pic of me violating anything on website. Anyone else have this happen to them?
Apparently the cameras in this ohio town aren't for the children like they are here

Google red light cameras in North Carolina. They have failed the court test over and over, including appeals. I may be wrong, but I think the state supreme court went against it too. This Ohio thing is nothing new, just another state in the house of cards falling. Of course, Chicago will be the last to drop anything that penalizes the public, just like the way the taxpayers were put on the hook for violating gun rights.

Same scum terrorists hit the Boston Marathon. Chechen goofballs. Russia has been fighting them for years. Whatever part of the former USSR they are from, underneath they are muslims.
Trouble always comes with a muslim face. Chechnya, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Somalia, Yemen, Egypt, Much of Africa, Pakistan is worth a second mention.

LMFAO, really? Valuable tool of government? How about not raising revenue but how about the alderman, mayor and our senators not stealing, spending money as they like. Open your eyes.
Oh wait, you don't have any common sense, you are just a troll. FUCkIN TROLL!
Here in Crook County where most judges are political hacks this could never happen.
Unfortunately, Un-American Laws still apply in Communist Chicagoland.

You mean no mention of the convicted felon allowed to set up shop inside 3 stations (3,4, and 5) to rip off coppers. Then again I wouldn't buy from someone that didn't have a storefront or shit I could view online. Glad to see that station security is at it's best. The DSS of those districts should be sparred for inattention to duty. Especially 3 seeing they have a history of letting unauthorized persons into their station....at least this fool wasn't allowed to suit up and ride with some 003rd district dogass all night

I understand your concern, but don't be a pyscho about it.. If your that worried keep your scanner on and be locked and loaded parked in your driveway. I'm more concerned over what Obama has done with my kids future then Chechen rebels rushing my kids school
Daley opened the door for these type of scams when he made parking tickets a civil offense and not a criminal/traffic court offense. That led to tickets for just about anything and everything they could think of. The trouble is the hearing officers are all city employees and you don't have a chance at the hearing.The speed cameras are even worse. There are no warning signs. If you go slightly over the limit you are going to get tagged and this is just the beginning. Washington DC has speed cameras all over the city.

You are just a plain tool. Invaluable tool of government my ass.
On an average city block you have spped limit signs parking meter signs, tow zone signs, cta signs, and safe passage signs. Some major street still have old no cruising zone signs from the 90's which are still up. This is not including all the business signs and city street light poles on the block. In drivers Ed you are taught to keep your eyes on the road to watch for traffic and pedestrians. Now a driver must continuously attempt to use their peripheral vision to find the speed camera warnings which are almost invisible with all the other distractions . Not so safe. It's a big set up for failure. How do these politicians get away with this. These are real criminals. Using their elected positions to change or make new laws so they can steal your hard earned money.

We've heard about this happening over at the Dept of Finance.
I asked the person in charge of the Cameras about it..
Was told that it is probably the result of a car that Was over the limit going by another car and that warnings were issued to both vehicles because they couldn't tell which vehicle was actually in violation.
I also heard that one of the big wigs that are running the Camera enforcement review people over at Finance is a Cochran family member.

Let's see, there's a "school" camera on Broadway, between Montrose & Wilson. Interesting thing is, the School at Sunnyside & Wilson was one of the schools CLOSED last year! And then there's "park" camera at Kenmore and Irving. WTF! When you check the Park District page, Challenger playlot is listed as 1100 W. Irving Park Rd. However, the actual park is an entire block south of Irving, along a very quiet, narrow, one way (NB) stretch of Kenmore, that only see an uptick in traffic when the Cubs are in town. And another of my favorites is Wrightwood Park, located at Ashland & Wrightwood. The camera set up to zap the SB traffic is just south of Wrightwood. The camera to get the NB traffic entire 2 BLOCKS south of the park!!
Hey Rahm, you can't tell me these are there, "for the children." Fuck you! This cameras are there for one thing, and one thing only…to make money off the working man!!
Hamilton, Ohio is one of the most normal places in this country. Nice people, down to earth attitudes, just an all-round pleasant place. (And with sane judges, too? A bonus.)
Contest every ticket on the grounds that it was not you driving the car. If there is no proof of you driving the car, ticket is void...unless you pay it which constitutes admission of guilt.

He got severely beaten and shot at while taking police action at the 7-11 at Belmont and Austin while attempting to assist them off duty in the mid 1990's.
The offenders were charged with attempted murder of a police officer.
He was probably trying to get a settlement for some civil action angle in the case against 7-11.

For the person who dislikes John Garrido's posts, stop reading them or like someone else said, unfriend him. He does put information on his posts regarding the pension and this job. I've worked for John in another district. You must be a miserable human being if you don't like him because as far as bosses go, he's a good one. If you hate him that much, tell him to his face or post it on his Facebook page.

It's supposed to be an open post not more propaganda from the city wide team. I don't have a dog in this fight but enough already. I wish I had the kind of free time your team has to constantly post here. I guess that's because none of you have worked a beat car for 15 years.

If it was that easy,why wouldn't everyone do it. You are not the first person to think of this.

Think of this as you sit and wait for your turn, the guy before you says I wasn't driving and the case is dismissed. What would you say? I wasnt driving and the case is dismissed. Everyone goes home and tells family and friends how easy it is to beat a red light ticket. Has that happened. No and I wonder why

McDonough did our roll call this morning. I did not know him but I liked what I heard. He is the anti-Mike Shields, he does not have an ego. We need a guy who has priorities straight. As long as coppers are number 1 priority, they will do well. Clean Slate for me and most of people at our roll call.

Seems to me with no mention of drivers speed they could be sending out bullshit warnings. Also, there was no recording or framed still pic of me violating anything on website. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Actually, I'd like to see more cameras. Follow the speed limit and you've got nothing to worry about.

Hey, come on! Law & Order, you know? Follow the laws and there is no problem. Isn't that what police do, enforce the laws? Isn't that what so many scream about on these pages? Proper enforcement of laws? Not a week goes by that there isn't posts about judges who refuse to properly enforce the laws and give out sentences according to statute. Speeding is by statute too.

ok stooge. then make sure these corrupt judges and politicians do their job properly first and foremost rather than continue to try and find "clever" ways of extracting more money from taxpayers. there are police assigned to these schools anyway. our bosses can easily tell them to start monitoring traffic outside school zones. i noticed these speed cameras aren't around schools and parks on the side streets, hmm. instead they put the cameras on the busy streets because they know it increases the odds of catching a speeder/out-of-towner or someone driving in an unfamiliar area. so please stop talking about enforcing any and all statutes. why aren't you complaining of these judges not enforcing the violent crimes of criminals who continue to be let back out on the streets to have rap sheets that entail 30+ arrests and aren't even 30 years old yet.
Don't bet on it happening here. The rumors are growing of the move by the democrats to impose either a city of Chicago or a county of cook income tax of 1%. It probably is going to happen. They also want a progressive state income tax claiming that this is the only fair way for the rich to pay their share. However, it would increase taxes for most of the working people in this state and impose a state income tax on pensions and social security. For a state that claims it is broke Quinn signed a budget that increases state spending by 2 billion.
I just got a $100 red light ticket fro Scummit-Archer & Harlem. The green turn arrow goes to yellow, then out for a couple seconds before the light turns green. These bastards are issuing the most chicken shit tickets i've ever seen. Even the worst sandbaggers on the watch wouldn't write that.
Why did Garrido sue the 7-11 store franchise years ago? Inquiring minds would like to know.
---------------------------------------------------
I don't recall specific details, but I assume it was related to the time he got beat to a pulp at 7-11. I do know he is one who will always find a way to file a lawsuit if it will make him some free money.
-------------------------------------------------
7-11 settled with Garrido... they gave him lifetime free coffee.
Isn't it true, according to the new orders, now that there are only two Lt's in 011, Lt. JA has to go the afternoons, Lt. VR to midnights and the Capt. has to fill in on days?

No, it's not. They can't move him because he has a bid. Can only move management Lts.
For the person who dislikes John Garrido's posts, stop reading them or like someone else said, unfriend him. He does put information on his posts regarding the pension and this job. I've worked for John in another district. You must be a miserable human being if you don't like him because as far as bosses go, he's a good one. If you hate him that much, tell him to his face or post it on his Facebook page.
You must know him so much better than everyone else. Us miserable human beings owe you an apology.

I don't have a rap sheet, just years on this job. I can't control what the idiot judges do.
Go 30 miles an hour or 20 in a school zone and you will never get a speeding ticket in the mail. That I can control.
I'm impressed. Not one person called me an idiot when I used the word "ferocious" as opposed to "facetious" when it's use was in fact meant to be facetious. Now it begs the question, did people get it or not? Aw, who cares?
