Plaintiffs v Heath and Redflex Traffic Systems
Class-Action Lawsuit Filed Against City of Heath Over Red Light Cameras
A Pickerington attorney filed a class-action complaint against the city of Heath and Redflex Traffic Systems, seeking reimbursement of all citations doled out since April 6.
Mitchell Tallan filed his complaint, two days after Heath voters approved a charter amendment banning traffic cameras in the city.
Unlike other camera-related actions filed against Heath, Tallan is seeking damages and full reimbursement of all illegal funds obtained from speeding tickets.
Tallan, who filed on behalf of all others who were unjustly cited by the cameras, discussed several reasons why the cameras violated his rights. However, the class action might not last because Tallan said he plans to modify the complaint to include just his citation.
The action claims the citations violated due process and abused police powers, among other complaints. The filing also states that the prosecution of the citations was inconsistent and discriminatory, according to court records.
The lawsuit stems from a speeding ticket Tallan received Oct. 31 for an alleged violation Oct. 25 at the intersection of Ohio 79 and Coffman Boulevard, according to the filing.
