Ohio Village Reaping Big Bucks With Speed Cameras
An attorney challenging the use of traffic speed cameras says a southwest Ohio village has reaped some $700,000 from tickets.
Attorney Mike Allen says the speed cameras are “nothing more than a money grab.” He wants a Hamilton County judge to shut down the system in Elmwood Village, near Cincinnati.
Business owners and a church pastor have said the speeding ticket blitz is deterring people from coming to the village. Police and others say it has made the village safer.
Closing arguments in the lawsuit are scheduled Jan. 24.
