Missouri Red Light Camera Class Action Settlement

American Traffic Solutions Inc. and American Traffic Solutions LLC have agreed to settle a class action lawsuit involving the enforcement of red light violations in 27 Missouri municipalities through the use of unmanned red light monitoring cameras. If you received a Notice of Violation of a red light camera ordinance in Missouri, you could be eligible for benefits from the red light camera class action settlement.

The red light camera class action lawsuit alleges that American Traffic Solutions, along with certain municipalities, operated an unlawful camera monitoring system at various traffic intersections throughout Missouri. Further, the class action lawsuit alleges that the defendants improperly issued violation notices because the ordinances were unconstitutional, violated Missouri law, and/or because the municipalities did not have the authority to enact the ordinances.

The defendants deny the allegations but agreed to settle the red light camera class action lawsuit to avoid the burden and expense of ongoing litigation.
