VoB SELECTS: INVESTIGATIVE NEWS FROM AROUND THE WEB
[1]Over 3,000 speed camera tickets were declared null and void this week in Baltimore because of a mistake in the camera's location.
DECLARING TICKETS NULL AND VOID
OVER 3,000 CITATIONS ERRONEOUSLY ISSUED
Problems with speed cameras continue to cost Baltimore taxpayers money, as a mistaken location caused the city this week to have to nullify more than 3,000 $40 tickets at a potential cost to taxpayers of over $120,000 in uncollectible fines.
The story was reported Tuesday by WBFF-Fox45-TV (click here) [2] which previously reported the nullification of over 1,000 speed camera fines in March caused by cameras configured to issue tickets for the wrong speed limit (click here) [3].
The 3,000 citations declared null and void this week were issued to motorists for speeding along Wabash Avenue near Rogers Avenue in West Baltimore who were in fact caught by a speed camera along a different block of Wabash near Ridgewood Road, thereby requiring nullification of the charges.
