The decision by the Ohio Judge is a significant one and, I believe, if it stands it can have far reaching tentacles toward other traffic "traps." From what I understand, the company that owns the monitoring machines receives 40% of the revenue from the $105 penalty. So immediately, I have a suspicion that the company certainly wants to have as many violations as possible. Also, the driver has no real opportunity to argue against this violation. The judge determined that it was basically a "scam". I tend to agree. In this country we are innocent until proven guilty. If there is no opportunity to prove your innocence, there is no justice.
