The Eighth District Court of Appeals held that Cleveland’s quasijudicial enforcement procedures for traffic camera tickets violated the Ohio Constitution Article IV, Section 1. Cleveland’s enforcement system, where drivers challenging a ticket appear before a city hearing officer, unconstitutionally impaired the jurisdiction of the Cleveland Municipal Court. Jodka v. Cleveland, 2014-Ohio-208
The decision will likely be appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court, where a similar case remains pending. See our prior post Ohio Supreme Court Will Hear Traffic Camera Case.
