COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court is standing by its ruling upholding use of traffic cameras.
The justices this week rejected a driver’s motion to reconsider their 4-3 ruling in December.
The court ruled in favor of Ohio cities’ authority to use cameras to catch speeders and red light-runners and to handle drivers’ appeals with administrative procedures.
The attorney for the motorist who challenged a camera-generated speeding ticket in Toledo had asked the state’s highest court to take the rare step of reconsidering a ruling.
He argued in his motion that the divided court went beyond the state constitution and court precedent.
Toledo’s law director and its camera vendor responded that there was no legitimate reason to reconsider.
